'The Tender Bar', a memoir by JR Moehringer
| blackwells.co.uk
We are revisiting an all-time favourite, the 2005 published memoir The Tender Bar, on the occasion of its release as a George Clooney-directed film.
The Tender Bar is the coming-of-age story of journalist J.R. Moehringer, chronicling his life as an only child, abandoned by his father, from the time he spent living in his grandparent’s Long Island house (a house full of female relatives, eight to be exact) through to his college years and early twenties.
Written in tenderly beautiful prose, we follow J.R.’s journey to manhood while chasing his dreams of becoming a writer and searching for a father figure, shaped and anchored by his experiences in the bar his Unlce Charlie tends and the colourful regulars that become a part of his life, and restore his faith. “Long before the bar legally served me, it saved me.”
