If he was just messing with me, he was doing it with admirable tenacity, never once raising his voice, never being anything but polite and calm.

Rosie Schaap shares an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, Drinking With Men. Looks like it could be a rather good read.

"In this memoir, Schaap accomplishes the difficult feat of compiling the train cars and dive bars of her life and weaving them into something that pokes at the reader’s every emotional button. A fascinating person with writing chops to match, Drinking With Men will have you raising a glass to its incomparable author and the great bar-stool stories she tells."

[Schaap] writes with an incredibly confident voice; it really feels like you’re sitting at a bar next to her and she’s just telling you about her life, which is one of the lovely things about the book.
