Más información sobre el libro

Set in the historic Blue Moon Tavern, which opened in 1934, this narrative explores its role as a refuge for University of Washington professors during the McCarthy era. Central to the story is Joe Butterworth, a once-prominent writer who became a symbol of despair after losing his career. The tavern thrived through the 1950s and 1960s, attracting notable figures like authors Tom Robbins and poets Theodore Roethke and Richard Hugo. It served as a vibrant cultural hub, hosting legendary visitors such as Dylan Thomas and Allen Ginsberg.
