About this listen
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 50, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life, running 300 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.

A guilty pleasure
In an age where being a “mans man” is generally discouraged and looked down upon, one finds pleasure in reading of exploits such as the characters. Though the sexual exploits of Chinaski may seem primal, and black and white, Bukowaki does well putting to paper the inner workings of a complicated, debaucherous, yet guilt-ridden man.

one of the weaker Bukowski's novels
the whole book feels like it was forced out of Bukowski to generate income. The quality of writing is a far cry from "Factotum" or "Ham on Rye", or even "Hollywood"- instead it is an endlessly repetitive dross. Every chapter is a previous chapter with a few names changed.
The content is unimaginative and very few characters feel real.

The reader was dry, hard to follow.
The story itself is great, raw. However this reader sounds like he's just making a buck and wants it over with

Worst book ever
If you're interested in reading a booking about addict and his boring uneventful trailer trash life.
There was literally no underlying takeaway from it other than don't waste your time.

Rambling of a drunk homeless
If you like a spicy and provocative read go check out Nabokov. This book is not worth the space it takes on your gadget.
