In 1962 Avram wrote \u003ci\u003eBeer Like Water\u003c\/i\u003e, which was part of a book of Davidson's true short stories titled \u003ci\u003eCrimes \u0026amp; Chaos\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, in Avram's typical fashion, he plays with the setting such that it's a bit more special than reality. \u003ci\u003eBeer! Beer! Beer!\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eLimekiller!\u003c\/i\u003e parallels Belize. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you pay attention, you'll notice little nods to you, his readers, along the way-could Yokums somehow be connected in Avram's universe to the goings-on in the fantastical empire of Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania?\u003cp\u003eOthers on Avram Davidson: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvram Davidson, to me, combines many talents and attributes including imagination, style, and perhaps above all, wit. - \u003cb\u003eRay Bradbury\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAvram's ear for weird ways of talking was wonderful. - \u003cb\u003eUrsula K.
