A novel about seduction and self-destruction.
For those who love to indulge in chaos, this story of seduction and self-destruction will intoxicate you.
Danny Clark, self-described “Madison’s Finest Poet,” scribbles verses across cocktail napkins in dive bars, searching for meaning at the bottom of another empty whiskey glass.
Pushing thirty and stuck in a dead-end job at a three-star hotel in his college town, something gnaws at Danny in the haze of late nights and broken promises. Maybe it’s another woman he needs. Like the one across the bar right now…
Raw, lyrical, and razor-sharp, Women and Whiskey is a darkly comic portrait of masculinity in collapse. For fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Denis Johnson, and Charles Bukowski, this novel is about the messy search for meaning in the bottom of a bottle, the middle of an affair, and the lies we tell ourselves to keep the party going.
