{"product_id":"9780997620238","title":"A Doorman's Memoir: Tales of Friendships","description":"A Doorman's Memoir is a self-published memoir by Brent Lymer, detailing his days moonlighting as a Vancouver nightclub doorman during the 1990s. Manning the front door at Granville Street mainstays \"Fred's Uptown Tavern\" and \"Babalu's\", Lymer fondly reminisces about trusted friendships, ill-tempered customers, and testosterone-driven barbs.  Using downtown Vancouver as it's backdrop, A Doorman's Memoir touches on Vancouver's violent underbelly, while exploring what makes male friendships so endearing, so frustrating and always competitive.  Lymer uses a pithy, self-deprecating voice that tells it like it was, often brutal, hilarious and definitely not politically correct.  While primarily a humorous reflection on a past life, the narrative is punctuated with laugh-out-loud circumstances. Throughout the book, Lymer calls out hilarious back stories to provide context into his own personal baggage.  In the end, the novel is actually a story about true friendships. Friendships based on trust, humor, loyalty, and a common goal to make it home safely at the end of each shift.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116346228976,"sku":"9780997620238","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780997620238_p0.jpg?v=1763945097","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997620238","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
