Sobre este artículo

New York: Riverhead Books, 2013. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Clean and unmarked wraps with slight wear to extremities, glued binding tight, solid and square, pages quite clean, no creases, no markings of any kind. Set in Montana, a story of a father and son; mother deserted them, but they do just fine until Rusty turns twelve--and well, then change arrives, first in the form of Proxy. Ivan Doig, a thrid generation Montanan himself, captures how a world becomes bigger and the past more complex in the last moments of childhood. 414 pages. 5.25 x 8 inches. 2013, Riverhead Books, New York.

Sinopsis

A national bestseller, the story of “a boy’s last days of youth and a history his father can’t leave behind” ( The Daily Beast ). Tom Harry has a streak of frost in his black pompadour and a venerable bar called The Medicine Lodge, the chief watering hole and last refuge in the town of Gros Ventre, in northern Montana. Tom also has a son named Rusty, an “accident between the sheets” whose mother deserted them both years ago. The pair make an odd kind of family, with the bar their true home, but they manage just fine. Until the summer of 1960, that is, when Rusty turns twelve. Change arrives with gale force, in the person of Proxy, a taxi dancer Tom knew back when, and her beatnik daughter, Francine. Is Francine, as Proxy claims, the unsuspected legacy of her and Tom’s past? Without a doubt she is an unsettling gust of the future, upending every certainty in Rusty’s life and generating a mist of passion and pretense that seems to obscure everyone’s vision but his own. The Bartender’s Tale wonderfully captures how the world becomes bigger and the past becomes more complex in the last moments of childhood.
