On the eve of Jim's wedding, he and best friend Hal dine and drink into the night. Amid the usual pronouncements on life and love, Hal reveals his own history with Jim's fiancée. Their mutual recognitions take the evening, and their lives, in a most unexpected direction, all under the eyes, or perhaps the guidance, of a silent and mysterious waiterA macabre and soulful inquiry into devotion, ideal love, and the meaning of death, THE SILENT WAITER is symbolist poet Kreymborg at his philosophical best.
