Lime bar. Matt Condon. 2001.

Regular price $7.00

What’s a forty-something salesman of made-in-Asia trinkets to do when he comes adrift from the safe moorings of marriage and washes up in the Lime Bar?

It’s to the Lime Bar, where Gustave the barman dispenses gin and advice with Gallic savour faire, that Matt Cordon’s hapless salesman always returns after every misadventure of the heart. Dallying past midnight in a Gold Coast hotel pool, reclaiming his masculinity with the mountain men, sampling the bars and bedrooms of the Sydney scene and losing himself in a fairytale France - the choices are frequently disastrous, the cost of wisdom often too high. And the final adventure is the most unexpected of all.
