About this listen

A young Avram Davidson would have been seven years old at the time, when prohibition was the law of the land and beer barons like Dutch Schultz sold illegal alcohol to the public. In 1962, Avram wrote Beer Like Water, which was part of a book of Davidson’s true short stories titled Crimes & Chaos.

In this audiobook, in Avram’s typical fashion, he plays with the setting such that it’s a bit more special than reality. Beer! Beer! Beer! exists at the intersection of magical realism (just a hint) and historical fiction, with the streets of Yokums representing the Yonkers of his youth in the 1920s and 1930s much in the way that the British Hidalgo of Limekiller! parallels Belize.

If you pay attention, you’ll notice little nods to you, his listeners, along the way - could Yokums somehow be connected in Avram’s universe to the goings-on in the fantastical empire of Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania?

Beer

In a fictionalised New York the twin pains of the Depression and Prohibition are making life dreary and difficult. Someone, however, is pumping beer to the mouths of the thirsty, which is all very well until one of the pipes is discovered. A rich, vibrant, hilarious period comedy, with hints of darkness round the edges. A pure joy of a read.
