Dishwasher is the true story of a man on a mission: to clean dirty dishes professionally in every state in America. Part adventure, part parody, and part miraculous journey of self-discovery, it is the unforgettable account of Pete Jordan's transformation from itinerant seeker into 'Dishwasher Pete' — unlikely folk hero, writer, publisher of his own cult zine, and the ultimate professional dish dog—and how he gave it all up for love.

Staff Review:
Pete Jordan converted his youthful restlessness and anti-authoritarian inclinations into what would seem a simple enough quest - to wash dishes in all 50 states. Turning his legendary Dishwasher zine into a book here, Pete crafts a modern classic every bit as relevant to people today as Kerouac's On The Road was to a previous generation. It's the story of a man finding himself, his place in the world and a life, but this man just happens to be an endearing everyman hero. This is a must read! In fact, it should be required reading for every college/high school senior.
