    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.

    From her office at a mental health institute on the outskirts of modern day Miami, a troubled young woman counsels deeply disturbed clients while coping with her own heightening concerns. These include frightening consciousness lapses, violent memories of a high school sexual relationship, a menacing stalker, and an annoyingly arousing visitor who may or may not be insane. All this on a single stormy day as SIPD, today's flavor of mental health disorder, threatens to distort memory and identity, unmooring the validity of reality itself.In stark, lyrical prose, Songs of the Maniacs shares a young woman's search for illumination as she attempts to understand her past, present, and true self. When she allows herself to take a deeper look at the people and events that make up her life as a counselor for the insane, she is drawn into the hallucinogenic reality her clients are struggling to control. The hypnotic pull of the story lies in the mystery of the storyteller herself and her murky, uneasy sense of doom. Her world is a wounded one, but familiar and uncomfortably close to our own.A seductive and chilling short novel, Songs of the Maniacs relies on clear prose and uncluttered imagery to delineate a fascinating descent into the abyss beneath the lush tropical surfaces of contemporary American paradise.
