Bukowski found women who were the exact same nature as him, in this autobiographical work most of the woman he encounters are not right in their heads. They are drunkards, always either thinking about fuck or sleeping idle or constantly goes through sick relationships... Although I find his poems to be more interesting, I think that's where he excelled. This a not "bad" in any way, but I think Bukowski is overrated as a Novelist, his poems though are epic in its rawness and the portrayal of everyday Life. Here i felt like the magic was missing.Definitely can skip this one.Read Time-3 hours and 55 minutes
