I like the concept of the novel: two people meet and dine together by happenstance. The (short-ish) novel is just the story of that one meal and the conversation they have. I suppose it's partly my own lack of general knowledge making me jealous of those who know more than me, but I found some of the character's references to esoteric literature and discussion of food and wine to be a little pretentious. I wouldn't really enjoy having dinner with either of these people. Nonetheless, I did find that eavesdropping on some of their conversation to be a worthwhile diversion from my own life for a while.

She came about five minutes later and sat at a table opposite him and closer to the wall, her back to the sea. Slim, not particularly tall, auburn hair, close-cropped, rather more studious than beautiful. Strong-featured. Or was it sharp-featured? A blend. In black jeans, a black jacket. Silver bracelet on a slender wrist. A young woman and an older man meet by accident - a gust of wind - at a restaurant in Trieste and find themselves dining together. They embark upon a conversation of the kind that can perhaps only happen between total strangers - risky, philosophical, full of the most intimate stories and confessions. She has questions. He finds, as the wine flows, delicious dishes come and go, and the velvet night deepens, that he doesn't have as many answers as he might have thought he had.
