Verlyn Klinkenborg's The Last Fine Time sensitively chronicles the
life of a family-owned restaurant in Buffalo, New York, from its
days before WWII as a Polish tavern to 1947, when it became a swank
nightspot serving highballs and Frenchfried shrimp to a generation
of servicemen. In the inevitable disappearance of George &
Eddie's, as narrated by Klinkenborg, we see the passing of both an
Old World way of life and the end of the postwar exuberance that
was Eddie Wenzek's "last fine time." A loving portrait of an era
and place, The Last Fine Time is, by turns, an elegy, a
celebration, a social history, and a tour de force of lyrical
style.
