Rose Mask is a piece of literary nonfiction presented as a one act play. Taking place during the more uncertain days of the COVID-19 pandemic, just as restaurants have reopened for table service, a variation of a single scene repeats itself in a loop. A server and the customer, the customer, the customer, the customer, the customer, and so on, engage, until the book culminates in an essay on the nature of service and in part capitalism itself.
It is also funny.
