Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Babies, not Women.
I love this book, but haven’t revisited since my last read in the 90’s. I was happy to see there was an audiobook so I bought it. I give it one star for the narration. The actor performs Lydia as if she were a 6 year old girl, rather than a 30 year old mother. She sounds exactly like baby Zuzu from “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
“Teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets their wings”. You can hear that famous piece of dialogue
that ends that film in your head now? Good because now you know what the titular “woman” in this audiobook sounds exactly like.
I had to turn it off after 7 chapters, it’s that obnoxious.
