Drinking with Men: A Memoir | |
"Schaap brings a poet's touch to her memoir, which brims with insight and wisdom."
–Jimmy Breslin
“This book will be a classic. There is so much joy in this book! It’s a great, comforting, wonderful, funny, inspiring, moving memoir about community and belief and the immense redemptive powers of alcohol drunk properly.”
—Kate Christensen, author of In the Drink and The Great Man
"There are bar stories and there are coming-of-age stories. And then there is Rosie Schaap's thoughtful and funny chronicle that reminds us of all the drinks, dives, and deep conversations that helped make us who we are. This is a wise, engaging memoir."
—Wendy McClure, author of The Wilder Life and I’m Not the New Me

—People
“A witty homage to pubs and bars and the regulars who call them home.”

—Entertainment Weekly
"With focused premise and expansive feeling... [and] very smart assessments of a mode of being that’s not given the credit it deserves. 'Drinking With Men' would pair very well this time of year with a well-aged whiskey and a handful of peanuts."
—The Boston Globe

—NPR.org
“Rosie Schaap’s New York Times column on the pleasures of drinking has always been—like the best bartenders—funny, smart, and slightly bawdy. This memoir is also all those things—and there’s no hangover.”

”—The Daily Beast
“Funny, smart-as-hell, moving.”

网友对Drinking with Men: A Memoir的评论
There are so may ways most of us can identify with in Rosie's journey - drinking with men is simply a metaphor for how women find their place in the universe. I love that she uses the bar culture as a common equalizer of the sexes. It's not the pick-up bar or the sports bar she frequents, but the neighborhood bar where you have to humble yourself to your core and set your soul vulnerable. Believe me, the book is not this esoteric. Rosie leads us to the place better than group therapy, a place - when stumbled upon - can keep us sane.
I just loved this book. Rosie Schaap can really write, and her memoir constructed around her social (and inner) life in bars and saloons proves it. This was a book club selection for my book club--which meets at a local bar!--and there was a long and interesting discussion following our reading of "Drinking With Men."
One question I was interested in hearing everyone answer was, is Rosie Schaap an alcoholic? We all had our own opinions. The answers ranged from "Um...yes, obviously!" to "Not at all, I really don't think so at all!" and everything in between. To a person, though, we all enjoyed her memoir and identified with her strong love of walking into a place, wherever it may be, "where everybody knows your name."
Recommendation: Two hearty thumbs up, absolutely recommend.
I fell in love with so many of the people in this book--especially Rosie and Frank. Anyone who has friends will love it. Anyone who has ever been in love will love it. Anyone who has ever taken a risk will love it. Anyone who has ever been hurt will love it. Anyone who has ever experienced a loss will love it. Anyone who has ever felt joy will love it.
I wanted this book to never end . . .
I really can't make up my mind on this book. The first few chapters had so much potential. At first each chapter was so different that they seemed like a compilation of short stories about her life. The last few chapters have enough details to make a continuous story, but for some reason there doesn't really seem to be enough details to weave a continuous tale. I guess I'm not sure why I didn't love the book. All I can say is that I read the first few chapters with alarming speed and the last few I found difficult to complete.
Thought this would be a good book after hearing about it. Not what I expected. The author does a good job of relating many stories about different bars, and the various characters she meets in them. But all they do is talk, talk, talk. Although the author spends hundreds of hours in the various bars, she seldom ends up inebriated. For all that, she might as well as spent time in a Starbucks. Not my kind of bar stories for sure.
