Description
Summary:Mackin explores Ivan Doig's engagement with people who had shaped his life and whose personalities influenced the characters in his Montana novels. Among those people are the Chadwicks, in whose home Doig lived for three years and with whom he shared a lifetime bond. Gertie Chadwick and her Home Cafe and the daily life that swirled through it became formative elements of Doig's youth that in turn became remembrances that, in later years, he richly layered into his memoirs and fiction.
