Bukowski, jeezel the guy just doesn't give a damn. If you like anything by him....you'll Love this novel of his wanderings through life in his later years, desparation and hope at the same time. In this era where materialism is so pervasive, boy (and I never thought I'd say THIS about Bukowski)...

sexually graphic but not in the least erotic, alternately disturbing and hilarious - i'm not sure if i liked it.

    First Bukowski book I ever read and I think it put me off sex for a couple months. I've never been forced to consider another man's penis more than the week I spent on this one. Read it while drinking.

    I know that I'm supposed to like this, but I don't and I don't care. Bukowski does nothing for me and this work is particularily dreary.

    I just have to admit that I don't get Bukowski. Friends tell me he's important and innovative...he just seems like a dirty, drunk old man. I've only read this one, and the characters broke my heart. If anyone has a suggestion of one of his books that might help me "get it" I'll give it another go.
