| Publisher Description: Fifty-three of today's most esteemed writers answer the question, What makes this bar better than all other bars? A reminder that no matter where you are in the world there is always a place nearby that feels like home. --The Paris Review A neighborhood bar can become as comfortable as a second home or a memory best avoided--a wild evening half remembered and better forgotten. But what makes a particular bar special, better than the one just down the street? The answers vary considerably as writers share personal stories of drinking establishments both local and exotic. Come Here Often is an intoxicating world tour from Antarctica to New York City, Kiribati to Minnesota, to the places that have inspired--and distracted-- some of our favorite contemporary writers over many years and many more drinks. Funny, smart, and poignant, this anthology is a rare opportunity to do some serious armchair drinking with Andrew W.K., Rosie Schaap, Jack Hitt, Jim Shepard, Alissa Nutting, Duff McKagan, Laura Lippman, Craig Finn, Elissa Schappell, and many more. |
