Specificatii
In the rich tradition of
bestselling memoirs about self-invention, The Tender Bar is by
turns riveting, moving, and achingly funny. An evocative portrait
of one boy's struggle to become a man, it's also a touching
depiction of how some men remain lost boys. JR Moehringer grew up
listening for a voice, the voice of his missing father, a DJ who
disappeared before JR spoke his first words. As a boy, JR would
press his ear to a battered clock radio, straining to hear in that
resonant voice the secrets of identity and masculinity. When the
voice disappeared, JR found new voices in the bar on the corner. A
grand old New York saloon, the bar was a sanctuary for all sorts of
men -- cops and poets, actors and lawyers, gamblers and
stumblebums. The flamboyant characters along the bar taught JR,
tended him, and provided a kind of fatherhood by committee. Torn
between his love for his mother and the lure of the bar, JR forged
a boyhood somewhere in the middle. When the time came to leave
home, the bar became a way station -- from JR's entrance to Yale,
where he floundered as a scholarship student; to Lord & Taylor,
where he spent a humbling stint peddling housewares; to the New
York Times, where he became a faulty cog in a vast machine. The bar
offered shelter from failure, from rejection, and eventually from
reality, until at last the bar turned JR away.
