We'll be reaching into the realm of personal memoirs and non-fiction with our September selection entitled "The Tender Bar" by J.R. Moehringer. A book that has garnered attention for it's descriptive language of a time (various) and a place (the neighborhood bar)that was formative to the development of a young man's identity. The New York Times Book Review wrote: “The Tender Bar is a beautiful, gravelly love letter to [an] amorphous father, a melancholy romance between a boy and a corner saloon that's as smoky and heart-crackling as a Sinatra 78.” Grab yourself a copy and join us on Wednesday September the 10th at 6:30pm when we gather next, not in a bar, sadly, but in our cozy library community room to talk about this unique title. We don't have a jukebox, but I can assure you we'll have some appropriate bar/lounge music to fill the background.
