Time and again, Ivan Doig has proven himself to be a treasure of American letters. Critical darlings and New York Times bestsellers, his novels target the heart of the human experience- and never miss the mark. The Bartender's Tale stars Tom Harry and his son Rusty, who live alone and run a bar in a small Montana town in the early 1960s. Their lives are upended when a woman from Tom's past and her beatnik daughter breeze into town.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Highly textured and evocative…Doig gives us a poignant saga of a boy becoming a man alongside a town and a bygone way of life inching into the modern era.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Essential reading for anyone who cares about western literature.” Booklist (starred review)
“Doig expertly spins out [the] various narrative threads with his usual gift for bringing history alive in the odysseys of marvelously thorny characters…Possibly the best novel yet by one of America’s premier storytellers.” Kirkus (starred review)
“[An] enjoyable, old-fashioned, warmhearted story about fathers and sons, growing up, and big life changes.” Library Journal
