Skimmed to the end Tu 5/7/13
My post on Good Reads-
This is Bukowski's semi autobiographical work in which he uses the name Hank Chinaski, and documents his adventures with the opposite sex after enjoying some degree of recognition during the 1970's. At every stage in his life, Bukowski embraced a kind of poor man's Playboy philosophy where the slovenly, anti-social, and uninhibited bachelor finally gets his proper due. Razor sharp declarative sentences and a liquor store full of booze typify the novels, short stories, and poems of Charles Bukowski. His literary style consists of a fiery gumbo of William Burroughs, Arthur Rimbaud, Jean Genet, and Hunter Thompson. Bukowski never let's you forget that he's an obnoxious and dirty old man, and his work presents the point of view of the quintessential 'outsider', and this will either draw you in, or repel you.
