Representaion During Books Women

Alternate cover for this ISBN can be found here 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.

Write-Up Based On Books Women
It was love at first letter with Bukowski. This was months ago. I read the letter he wrote in 86, (posted at Letters of Note in 2012,) and I just knew. I had a thing for that letter, and wanted to devour the words of the man who wrote it.I gulped down Women quickly because that was the type of book it was. Reading Bukowski requires the willingness to loosen up. It is not easy to read this stuff through an ideological, feminist, or moral lens. This man does not bother to brush up his character or

This was my first Bukowski and I dont believe it will be the last. Its good to take a peek at his writing when you get too serious in your head and your brain begins to get hot, its good to take a glance at his writing to cool it down and get into the life of an ugly old son of a bitch who is, as he describes himself: Im just an alcoholic who became a writer so that I would be able to stay in bed until noon, a writer who write[s] a lot of crap. But if you ask me Id say he writes interesting

Well, this is one of the instances where I'm not sure how I should start my review. It's not because I don't have anything to say, because trust me, I have sooo many opinions, I just have no idea where my rant should begin. First of all, how the fuck is Bukowski this popular? Please someone explain this to me, because I can't wrap my mind around the fact that people actually love and worship him as an author. And how did he not have like a thousand children and didn't die of liver cirosis or

I enjoyed this novel. Though it's thick, I found it an easy read, the type of book that I could dip into at any time. The structure of this novel is odd or unconventional in that at first it seems repetitive, this happens then that, with women entering and leaving his life. But somehow you grow used to it. It's almost like a compilation of episodes that often don't lead anywhere but allow you to understand the protagonist who's obviously Bukowski. I'll say it's pretty funny too. Bukowski's sense

Misogyny, misogyny, misogyny....that's all everyone sees. Few see the true character of Hank, only the brutal sexual descriptions, the words beginning with "C" and his practice of "mounting" whatever drunken soul may have wandered into his piss-stained bed. This is one of the most American novels I have ever read. It tells the story of the common man, overburdened by the memories of his abusive youth, beleagured by his own unsightly appearance and wallowing in the depths of alcoholism. Few feel

I often find myself picking up Bukowski in times of stress or other psychological need. His writing is often tough and brutal, difficult to navigate, a reminder of the ugliness of the world. And yet, there is always that undercurrent of truth, of beauty hidden beneath the grime. Or maybe the word Im really looking for is human. Yes, thats it. Reading Bukowski reminds me of what its like to be human, warts and faults and pettiness and farts and bad breath and all. Its always an adventure reading

Okay, Wikipedia really mislead me on this one and it should be ashamed of itself."Women is centered around Chinaski's later life, as a celebrated poet and writer, not as a dead-end lowlife." I say bullshit to you, Wikipedia. The 10% I managed before throwing the book down in disgust would beg to differ."At times, Women has the tendency to become chauvinistic."Understatement."Aside from Chinaski's discontent, Bukowski added a certain comedic flair to his novel that may expose some women to the
