Description
Four young lawyers meet in the fall of 1981 as new associates at Chicago’s prestigious Abbott & Windsor. They are ambitious twenty-somethings, each having graduated with honors from a top law school, each with big plans for the future, and each unaware that—to quote a Yiddish proverb—“Man plans, and God laughs.”
At the end of their first week, they gather with their spouses for a potluck dinner party. Enjoying the night, they decide to meet again every three or four months, naming themselves the Gourmet Club.
Over decades, the Gourmet Club serves as a backdrop for evenings that reveal the characters’ diverging paths and the ups and downs of their professional and personal lives. Pivotal moments unfold in a courtroom, a boardroom, a bedroom, a baseball game, a funeral, and beyond, illustrating how much has changed—both in the country and in the lives of the protagonists—since that first meeting in 1981.
