Overview

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... Darkly comedic and emotionally raw, Women and Whiskey is a gritty literary journey into the lies we tell ourselves to keep the party going.

Author Information

Eric Maus is a writer and filmmaker originally from Wisconsin, now living in Brooklyn, NY. He studied poetry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, influencing the sharp, emotional lyricism present in all of his work.Women and Whiskey is his debut novel: a raw, darkly funny, and lyrically charged portrait of loose love, booze, and lies, told through the eyes of a drunken poet headed for a breakdown.Over the past decade, Eric has written screenplays, directed short films, and told stories across genres and platforms. Whether on the page or behind the camera, his work explores the complicated terrain of flawed relationships, emotional self-sabotage, and the often blurry line between desire and destruction. He's drawn to characters who can't get out of their own way and the quiet beauty that can emerge from their chaos.Eric's creative process is rooted in honesty and lived experience, and his stories aim to make readers feel seen in their messiness. When he's not writing, he's wandering through Brooklyn with a notebook, searching for the next character or the next dive bar.
