Audie Honor Nominee, Fiction, 2013 Time and again, Ivan Doig has proven himself to be a treasure of American letters. Critical darlings and New York Times best sellers, his novels target the heart and soul of the human being experience rather than miss the symbol. The Bartender' s Tale personalities Tom Harry and his 12-year-old child, Rusty, who live exclusively and operate a bar in a tiny Montana town in the early 1960s. Their lives are upended when Proxy, a woman from Tom's former, and her beatnik child, Francine, air flow into town. Is Francine, as Proxy says, the unsuspected legacy of her and Tom's former? Certainly she actually 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 eyesight but his own. As Rusty struggles to decipher the oddities of adult patterns and the mysteries build toward a reckoning, Ivan Doig wonderfully catches how the world becomes bigger and days gone by becomes more complex in the last moments of child years.
