《Days of Wine and Roses》是美國作家LOCK. S於2005年出版的短篇小說集，收錄戲劇、散文、寓言等多體裁作品，融合黑色幽默與南方地域色彩。全書以14篇獨立故事探討人性與社會議題，通過多元敘事展現現實與虛構的交織。
作品題材涵蓋反英雄主義話劇、童年回憶、考古思辨等，既有對流行文化的解構（如《BOND, JAMES BOND》顛覆特工形象），也包含對市井生活的刻畫（如《TRAILER PARK BLUES》）。部分篇章採用嵌套敘事結構，如戲仿愛倫·坡風格的《THE JEWELS OF KINGDOM EXCELSIOR》，或在《THE CRITIQUE》中探討創作本質。文字風格兼具諷刺性與荒誕感，通過多維度敘事展現社會群像。
