Publisher Description

With all of Charles Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, Women, the 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum, is an uncompromising account of life on the edge.

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.

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author

Customer Reviews

M_Lubo ,

Something Sublime

There seems to be something very unique about Bukowski’s style. Maybe it is the rawness, maybe the cadence. But it is always entertaining.

robmdz1983 ,

A sheering classic in dark humor

Fantastically real book about a real poet on real women. It’s wonderfully honest so the woke feminists will surely hate it.

Yisus_Augustine ,

Fantastic novel for men.

This is written in simple terms, easy to read and has a lot of good phrases. I am sure it is not only for men, but they will really enjoy reading it.
