J.D. Rockefeller is said to have once remarked to friends: 'Before choosing your hotel, order a martini cocktail at the bar. Then you'll know if the hotel is good enough for you...' At once a celebration of the most elegant, arcane and mysterious cocktail of them all - the martini - and a lyrical memoir of friendship and love won and lost, MARTINI: A MEMOIR is Frank Moorhouse at his melancholy and hilarious best. As he muses on the aesthetics of martini lore - olive or twist, shaken or stirred, Dorothy Parker or James Bond? - and the nature of drinking, Moorhouse reflects on the role of the martini in his own life in prose as dry and intoxicating as the martini itself.
