![]() ![]() ![]() After eating her first combo (double spicy), Lois becomes hooked on the food and finds it calms her stomach rather than upsetting it. Brothers Boereg and Chaiman run the Clement Street Soup and Sourdough Boereg is the chef and Chaiman is the delivery man. On a whim, Lois calls and orders the combo (double spicy), despite her trepidations about her uneasy stomach. The flyer along with the phone number for delivery lists the menus as spicy soup or spicy sandwich or a combo (double spicy), all vegetarian. One evening upon arriving home late, she finds on the front door of her apartment building a flyer advertising Clement Street Soup and Sourdough. In addition to the long hours, the stress of the job causes Lois to have stomach aches and other stress-related ailments. Her hours are long, and some nights she sleeps on a couch at work, waking disheveled the next morning and not much rested. She lives alone in a tiny apartment and knows no one outside of her co-workers. At first, Lois is happy working at General Dexterity. The narrator is Lois Clary who leaves Michigan a year after college to take a job as a software engineer earning an enormous salary at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company. ![]() Sourdough has received praise from NPR book reviewers, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Southern Living. Recently, I discovered Sloan’s latest novel, Sourdough, published in 2017. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore a few years ago. ![]()
