The Dishwasher Dialogues offers a rare insight into the Paris of the nineteen seventies as few people knew it. Here is a rich dialogue between a Canadian dishwasher/bartender and an American bartender/dishwasher at the renowned soul food restaurant Chez Haynes in the red-light district of Paris. The staff were dreamers, writers, painters, actors, dancers and photographers. They all survived thanks to the legendary African American Leroy Haynes, who knew everybody from the mayor to the call girls deluxe. Between dishwashing and mixing cocktails, these two young exiles wrote and painted, talked about art and death, and embraced their muses and demons. They lived it and never forgot.
