...Gareth, the foodboy, works in a hotel kitchen in Llanparc, Wales. As the story begins he walks along a lonely mountain road carrying a sack filled with a souvenir snow globe and a steak of raw Welsh lamb. He's going to meet his friend Ross, and feed him. Ross hasn't been himself lately, as we see through a series of flashbacks. We first meet Ross, a big guy with a shaved head, at a tent revival in the middle of the town.

And though Cambridge is not yet ready for the non-duck boats, the option should hardly be, ahem, rivered—with talk of moving undergraduate Houses to Allston in the next decades, Tyler’s may be the murky, polluted Charles-side wave of the future...
