  • Beer! Beer! Beer! Chapters 9-11 “Consequences, Served Neat”
    Jan 20 2026

    Chapters 9–11 deal with the morning after—when consequences arrive wearing sensible shoes and asking pointed questions. The town of Yokums sobers up just enough for authority, ambition, and self-preservation to reassert themselves, though not always in the order you’d expect. Avram Davidson is at his sharpest here, letting irony do the heavy lifting as plans unravel, alliances shift, and everyone insists they were reasonable all along. The comedy tightens, the satire deepens, and the story quietly pivots from celebration to reckoning. It’s less about beer now, and more about what people do once they’ve tasted the impossible.

  • Beer! Beer! Beer! Chapters 6-8 “Law, Order, and Questionable Plumbing"
    Jan 13 2026

    Chapters 6–8 kick the door open on pure, gleeful chaos as Yokums stumbles into an impossible discovery that turns an ordinary workday into a civic fairy tale. The town reacts exactly as you’d expect during hard times: with wonder, hustle, disbelief, and a very practical approach to joy. Avram Davidson leans hard into his gift for turning civic minutiae, oddball characters, and moral gray areas into comedy that feels both mythic and deeply human. There’s laughter, suspicion, authority figures scrambling to look authoritative, and the unmistakable sense that something magical has briefly elbowed its way into the everyday. It’s funny, sharp, and affectionate, with Davidson quietly reminding us how thin the line is between order and delight.

  • Beer! Beer! Beer! Chapters 3-5 “Saints, Sinners, and Suds”
    Jan 6 2026

    Send us a text

    Chapters 3–5 plunge us deeper into Yokums, where politics, ethnicity, morality, and money collide with the steady thrum of everyday life. We meet larger-than-life civic figures, reformers who truly believe they’re saving souls, and working stiffs just trying to get through the week without losing their jobs—or their dignity. Avram Davidson’s voice shines here: wry, generous, and sharp enough to skewer hypocrisy without ever losing affection for his characters. These chapters quietly braid power, temptation, and history together, setting forces in motion that feel inevitable long before anyone realizes what they’ve touched. Nothing explodes yet—but you can hear the fuse hissing.
