The Assault on Tony's
About This Book
As a riot rages outside a bar, patrons barricaded inside face their own battle in a "brilliant and twisted" novel by the author of Leaving Las Vegas ( The Kansas City Star ). Completed posthumously, The Assault on Tony's is an unapologetic, unsentimental, and at times exuberant examination of the joys and sorrows of intoxication, written with the same unflinching eye and grim wit that made John O'Brien's Leaving Las Vegas an instant classic. Barricaded in a bar called Tony's while a race riot rages outside, five affluent white menâall strangersâare united by their desire to drink to the end, no matter what. Social alliances are forged and challenged as each member of this macabre party ignores his fears in favor of keeping his tumbler full to the brim. As time goes on and the liquor supply starts to dwindle, the novel reaches a gritty intensity that explores the highs and lows of the human spirit.
