The Art of Bars by Mickey J. Corrigan

$14.99

 

A haunting meditation exalting the trashy to the sublime. Reading this collection, I was reminded of the Sanskrit neti neti, meaning not this, not this. A woman is searching the ashes of seedy nightlife for excitement, for love, for a home. Ultimately, she is negated through a series of humiliating trysts until nothing remains but woman eternal.

—Jade Bos, Hookers or Cake

 

Mickey J. Corrigan‘s best writing is about sluts in bars. I’m always interested to see the view from her eyes. She’s lived the life and it’s in her DNA.

—Steven Jay Flam, The Id and the Ecstasy

 

“It’s official. I am in love with Mickey J. Corrigan. Her writing style is all her own and I cannot get enough of it…There is no sugarcoating in a MJC book. Life is tough, but life is still good.”

—For the Love of Books and Alcohol

Mickey is a cynical optimist. I’ve known her all my life and I can tell you this: she finds the humor in all sorts of hell.

—Virginia Aronson, Tropical Diagnoses (Finishing Line Press)

Rating: ***** [5 of 5 Stars!]

 

The Art of Bars

by Mickey J. Corrigan

$14.99, paper

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.
