In this savage twist on The Art of War, a female Bukowski seeks solace in booze and strange men while struggling with the twelve steps out of her own personal hell. Tough, gritty, at times darkly funny, The Art of Bars is a lyrical meditation on the problems women face in seeking love while numbing real feelings. The unnamed protagonist is on a rocky road to self-destruction while battling herself and her demons. She is both pathetic and endearing because her scoffing veneer is so thin and brittle while the trough of despair beneath it so deep. Readers will root for her as she unveils her desperate search for self-love, hoping she can-like all of us-find a modicum of peace.
Autorenporträt
Mickey J. Corrigan is a drunken reverie, a fluke of the imagination, an avatar who works as a pulp fiction writer, bar girl, and nonsense gatherer. She lives in South Florida, where the men run guns and the women run after them. War is constantly on everyone's mind-personal wars, private wars, income generating wars. But so is love, with a chaser of anonymous sex. And drink, oh yes. Poetry is not. But then, it's all just one big war-torn lovelorn drunken poem, isn't it? Mickey's novellas and novels have been published by a variety of independent presses in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. In 2017, Salt Publishing in the UK will release her neo-noir crime novel Project XX. Check out more of Mickey's lucid dreams at www.mickeyjcorrigan.com or on Tumblr: http://mickeyjcorrigan.tumblr.com.
