ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer is a memoir that chronicles his coming-of-age, largely shaped by his experiences in his uncle’s bar, Publicans. Growing up without a father, J.R. finds mentors and a sense of belonging among the bar's eclectic regulars.

 

The story follows J.R.'s journey through education and his early career, including his pursuit of writing and the challenges he faces at The New York Times. The narrative delves into themes of identity as J.R. considers changing his name. He deals with loss, community, and the search for his true self, set against the backdrop of Manhasset, Long Island.
