( ) This book gave me a new appreciation for bar culture. It made me want to go out and spend hours talking with strangers, just for life-enriching variety than Rosie Schaap describes. But... the gender connection was not well fleshed out. A title that highlighted the coming of age story/memoir theme of the book would be better-- maybe, "Martini with an Oliver Twist"? Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Drinking with Men is well-written; a very enjoyable read. Schaap's ability, as a woman, to walk into a bar alone and comfortably enjoy herself is uncommon, and makes for a good story. The book is full of interesting details about the people she meets, and the community and culture of bars. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Nice writing. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"A vivid, funny, and poignant memoir that celebrates the distinct lure of the camaraderie and community one finds drinking in bars. Rosie Schaap has always loved bars: the wood and brass and jukeboxes, the knowing bartenders, and especially the sometimes surprising but always comforting company of regulars. Starting with her misspent youth in the bar car of a regional railroad, where at fifteen she told commuters' fortunes in exchange for beer, and continuing today as she slings cocktails at a neighborhood joint in Brooklyn, Schaap has learned her way around both sides of a bar and come to realize how powerful the fellowship among regular patrons can be. In Drinking with Men, Schaap shares her unending quest for the perfect local haunt, which takes her from a dive outside Los Angeles to a Dublin pub full of poets, and from small-town New England taverns to a character-filled bar in Manhattan's TriBeCa. Drinking alongside artists and expats, ironworkers and soccer fanatics, she finds these places offer a safe haven, a respite, and a place to feel most like herself. In rich, colorful prose, Schaap brings to life these seedy, warm, and wonderful rooms. Drinking with Men is a love letter to the bars, pubs, and taverns that have been Schaap's refuge, and a celebration of the uniquely civilizing source of community that is bar culture at its best"--
"An honest, irreverent, chronological account of a woman forging her identity in bars, an almost exclusively male world, while living in New York, Dublin, and Montreal, among other locales"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
