'''''The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories''''' is a collection of anecdotal [[short stories]] by [[United States of America|American]] author [[Charles Bukowski]]. The stories are written in both the first and third-person, in Bukowski's trademark semi-autobiographical short [[prose]] style. In keeping with his other works, themes include: [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] bar culture; [[alcoholism]]; [[gambling]]; [[sex]] and [[violence]]. However, many of the stories contain elements of [[fantasy]] and [[surrealism]]. The book was initially printed as ''[[Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness]]'' {{Citation needed|date=January 2011}}. The stories originally appeared in ''Open City'', ''Nola Express'', ''Knight'', ''Adam'', ''Adam Reader'', ''Pix'', ''[[Berkeley Barb|The Berkeley Barb]]'' and ''[[Evergreen Review]]''.
