Publisher Description
“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author
“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter
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 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.
Customer Reviews
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.
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.
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.
