"Rollicking fun stories and poems about growing up and being a bartender in the DC club scene." Jack Scary, The Irish Times.Raymond Martin`s first book, The Trouble with Bartenders, contains poems and stories about bars, nightclubs, and hotels. They offer a commentary on the late-night characters you will find on both sides of the bar. Many of the stories were written as they happened and just recently edited and assembled for this collection. These stories follow a bartending career that started at the age of twelve, and they weave their way through Washington`s rock and punk scenes where alcohol mixed with sex and danger on any given night, to working at Albuquerque`s once infamous El Rey Bar before sobriety changed his perspective. A real page-turner! Both personal narrative and a story of time and place, this collection is wry, sad, funny and most of all surprising! A very good read. I couldn't put it down. Susan Saunders
