Helpful Score: 1
Connected short stories about the working-class "townies" who frequent a local bar in a small town in upstate New York. Fast read, unless you are not really interested in the lives of the novel's "loser" characters. I liked the author's melancholy narrative voices and the way you could nearly catch a buzz while reading the book stone cold sober!
"as warm and inviting as a good shot of whiskey on a cold winter's night"
The book was ok but not my genre of a book. It is comprised of short stories involving characters in a small town that frequent the same bar. I almost gave up reading it.
