When one reads Bukowski's prose, one has a fairly good idea of the types of "stories" to expect. However, in this volume, there were a few pieces that were about things almost too horrible to read about. While I certainly understand Bukowski's intent in presenting these subjects, I still would have to say I found at least a few of the stories to be revolting. That being said, there were others that were Bukowski at his best, finding tiny, sometimes microscopic, instances of hope, love and peace
I used to give this to every woman I dated.Naturally I've had limited success with the fairer sex.
Needless to say Bukovski is blunt and unapologetic. This book is a collection of stories and in my opinion some are better than others. Ones are extraordinary by the hidden thought, perspective of people that most of us cannot easily relate to, political statements, or cruelty. At the same time, others are simply not appropriate and written in a way that meant to shock the reader just for a sake of shocking. This book is interesting if we think of the time Bukovski brought these ideas up,
So Bukowski once again, after so long... He never failed to connect with me. Also not this time: no matter how shitty and crazy a story is, there is always something - one sentence, one thought making it worth reading. And there is always something in the back of my mind asking, who is the mad one. I think Bukowski's life is crazy enough and there is no need to made up stuff, so don't liked "unreal" stories in this book.
this was my stepping off point into the world of buk when i was barely 20yrs old. the crass dirty way these stories are written didnt deter me from picking up another of the authors book soon after. i have had a love affair with his writting ever since. sometimes, it takes the grittiness and pain in life to also really see the beauty in our human world.
Jesus Christ, I've been awake for like 24 hours and my tongue hurts and I've been eating 2 pieces of bread for an hour, but I couldn't resist this one. I'd really only read Chuck's poetry before, but I enjoyed it and bought this collection of stories after someone told me it would be a nice birthday gift for the lady friend.I think this person hated me. I almost had an anxiety attack after I read it; Bukowski's MO seems to involve drinking excessive beer, having somewhat selfish sex with girls
