Tuten’s prose is always vital, often dazzling. . . . <i>The Bar at Twilight</i> is neither normative nor predictable, and it bears the firm impress of the soul.” —<b><i>New York Times Book Review</i></b></p><p>“<i>The Bar at Twilight</i> is [Tuten’s] showcase, revisiting every strand of his bibliography with the benefit of hindsight and at the peak of his powers. . . . [It] is outgoing, lived-in, and gregarious. The word for this is <i>generous</i>.” —<b><i>Bookforum</i></b></p><p>“Tuten’s language is supple, elegant, and wonderfully descriptive. He is also very funny.” —<b><i>Los Angeles Review of Books</i></b></p><p>“Tuten has managed to reinvent himself in one stylistically daring work after another. . . . <i>The Bar at Twilight</i> is a sumptuous compendium of fables, pastiches, and stories in late style, all of them trussed up in a distinctively earthy, image-obsessed prose. At once riotous and soulful, saturated by a gentle, well-traveled <i>tristesse</i>, the stories feel both strikingly familiar and markedly fresh.” —<b><i>Cleveland Review of Books</i></b></p><p>“Subtly exultant. . . . <i>The Bar at Twilight</i> solidifies [Tuten’s] reputation as a distinctive, if overlooked, practitioner of literary art.” —<b><i>East Hampton Star</i></b></p><p>“Scintillating. . . . Tuten dazzles like the best of Jhumpa Lahiri, Alice Munro, and George Saunders.

The work of a gifted, resourceful writer: an old master.” —<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>“Heartfelt. . . . No matter whether Tuten is chronicling the creative or romantic lives of his characters, he renders their struggles with a sense of hope.” —<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p><p>“The music of Tuten’s prose speaks to my heart. His inimitable, imaginative, witty, romantic stories continue to haunt me.” —<b>David Gilbert</b>, author of <i>The Normals</i> and <i>& Sons</i></p><p>“Tuten’s stories are filled with art, dreams, yearning, and a past that he captures beautifully and deftly and then lets go. <i>The Bar at Twilight</i> is a wonderful, evocative collection.” —<b>Meg Wolitzer</b>, author of <i>The Interestings</i> and <i>The Female Persuasion</i></p>

NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICEAn incomparable storyteller serves up an enchanting concoction of art, love, and longingIn fifteen masterful stories, Frederic Tuten entertains questions of existential magnitude, pervasive yearning, and the creative impulse. A wealthy older woman reflects on her relationship with her drowned husband, a painter, as she awaits her own watery demise. An exhausted artist, feeling stuck, reads a book of criticism about allegory and symbolism before tossing her paintings out the window. Writing a book about the lives of artists he admires—Cezanne, Monet, Rousseau—a man imagines how each vignette could be a life lesson for his wife, the artist he perhaps admires the most. Whether set in Tuten’s beloved Lower East Side, Rome’s Borghese Gardens, or a French seaside resort, these stories shift seamlessly between the poignancy of memory into the logic of fairytales or dreams, demonstrating Tuten’s exceptional ability to transmute his passion for art and life to the page.

INNOVATIVE, INSPIRING LITERATURE: In a glowing review of Frederic Tuten’s 2021 painting exhibition at Harper’s, Artforum lauded his work for inspiring its viewers “to be just as spirited and creative and capricious as the artist.” These virtuosic stories have a similar effect on their readers and reveal Tuten, now in his mid-eighties, as a writer of great originality whose painterly, cinematic work “cuts brightly into the dark night of our troubled times” (Oscar Hijuelos) to deliver “an amazing, glittering, glowing, Proustian, Conradian, Borgesian, diamond-faceted, language-studded, myth-drowned Dream!” (Cynthia Ozick)EVOKES A STORIED NEW YORK: New York, the ever-changing city full of opportunity and the right amount of grunge, is constantly being mourned, “missed”, or “lost” by the next generation. In the New York stories of The Bar at Twilight, Tuten brings us into his city—one that will forever be the destination for romantics and aspiring artists of all varieties.FIRST FICTION IN A DECADE FROM BELOVED, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Frederic Tuten has lived a passionate and fascinating life devoted to making art and championing art makers. Major profiles have run in the New York Times, New York magazine, and on Studio 360, his stories have been included in Pushcart and O. Henry Prize anthologies, and he is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Distinguished Writing. With this book, his first fiction in over a decade, new readers have the opportunity to discover a writer whose admirers range from celebrity actors such as Diane Keaton and Steve Martin to world-renowned art historians, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrights, blockbuster painters, and celebrated authors such as Walter Mosley and Edmund White, who dubbed him a “cosmopolitan genius.”
