All You Can Eat Buddha

description

At the Palacio Hotel, an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, Mike’s attention is monopolized by the all-you-can-eat buffet. His voracious appetite, mysterious magnetism and a series of strange, small miracles begin to attract curious onlookers, many of whom become friends, fans and accomplices, as well as one jealous and cumbersome enemy. The staff and tourists will accompany him on a gargantuan descent that’s part social, part intimate meltdown; an unusual transformation supported by the world’s best customer service.
