Review title: Washed away by too many through the day
Product review: This guy is a skillful writer though in a way I found depressing. He tells the tale of his broken and dysfunctional family to where you think your heart will break. He then proceeds to glom onto this bar scene where all the patrons are of a sub-Runyonesqe quality. In my view, a bar is usually filled with many troubled and addled people and this one is no exception. J.R M. trades his requisite alcoholic haze for access to the easy male camraderie of his new found friends. Unfortunately, the galloping neurosis of the typical patron provides a dark backdrop to what appears to be a festive scene. The part that sucked me in was his love relationship with his girlfiend Sidney. I wanted him to "get the girl", but his drinking and lack of ambition did him in. It was sad. He's a clever woodsmith and turner of phrases which makes his book worth reading. The man has talent.
