HTML: Low-life writer and unrepentant alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, blowing his cash on booze and women, and scrimping by in flea-bitten apartments, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at fifty, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life, running three hundred hangovers a year, and maintaining a sex life that would cripple Casanova. With all of Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, this 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum is an uncompromising account of life on the edge. .No library descriptions found. |

I finally finished it.
My guess is this one of the most realistic books about people relationship. It feels kind of weird at first. Almost horrific. Of course there is some repulsion. But I know this is as close to reality as it gets. This book is not about women, it is about perception of women. Specifically about perception of women by man. Brutally honest. Borderlining on disgusting. But... there is something else. I feel that in modern world this book could either spark a great debate or kill it completely. Honesty was never pleasant anyway.
I will never read anything by that author again. ( )
