Im "Dickens" mit seiner skurillen Schar von Stammgästen lernt der vaterlose junge Held dieses wunderbaren Buchs fürs Leben. Hier hört er Frank Sinatra, trinkt sein erstes Bier und erfährt, dass man an gebrochenem Herzen nicht stirbt. A luminously written memoir about a boy striving to become a man, and his romance with a bar. A vivid, colourful portrait of American life by a Pulitzer Prize winning author.

JR Moehringer grew up listening for a voice, the voice of his missing father, a disc jockey who disappeared before JR spoke his first words. This work presents a portrait of one boy's struggle to become a man, depicting how some men remain lost boys.
