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.

Like Fight Club for girls, Project XX is a biting satire of the American obsession with violent destruction in the midst of rampant materialism. The darkly humorous story of girls on a rampage will grip you by the throat and not let go until you gasp for breath on the final page.
