Elegantly witty and deliciously playful, Faldbakken’s richly drawn comic novel views the eccentric and colourful guests of Oslo’s premier restaurant through the wickedly observant eyes of a waspish waiter. With echoes both of The Remains of the Day and Kingsley Amis at his frothiest, The Waiter is a veritable feast of humorous fiction. Faldbakken nicely uses his protagonist's correct and mannered bearing and diction to sustain a simmering tension in The Waiter-- that small-scale nervousness one feels in a restaurant watching a server balancing a slightly over-full tray. The story rises to the occasional bigger jolt, but Faldbakken is more low-key than sensational; the unease or even horror bubble beneath but only barely poke through to the surface.
