The foibles of society create blots like stagnant muddy waters. This satirical novella provides striking commentary on the culture, economy, politics, crime, corruption, alcoholism and all that is ugly, as well as beautiful, in a particular society. Picturesque descriptions immerse the reader right into the action spots - from politicians who are deluded to believe that they are in public service to cater to their egos, to moonshine addicts who consider the self-sentence of death as fair bargain for their pleasures. It is entertaining to sustain interest all the way, as well as thought provoking to raise questions about issues that seem normal or have been taken for granted. The logic is to stir the 'Muddy Waters' to hopefully stab the conscience of society at a reawakening.
