A good place to work, good whiskey, and good sex.
According to famous author Barron Docksteder, that’s what you need to be a good writer—at least that’s what he tells his young protégé.
It’s 1995. Docksteder has just moved to the Carolina foothills, where he regularly orders elaborate breakfasts at a nearby café. There, he befriends the young café owner, who is a frustrated writer. Before long, Docksteder is sharing his bombastic wisdom about how to live a life worth writing about.
Excited by the prospect of receiving private lessons from a famous author, the young café owner gladly accepts the position of protégé. However, he’s not entirely sure what that entails. As he enters a world of guns, heavy drinking, and robust sexual appetites, a part of him wonders if he should have just stuck to running a café. But once the Docksteder tales begin, there’s no turning back.
