Book Reviews of Women: A Novel
Book Review: Women Problems Bukowski Style
Summary: 5 Stars
Bukowski is a writer you either get or you don't get. Most people claim he's far too harsh and that his prose is too vulgar. Well, Women isn't a book for the squemish. It's basically a follow up to Post Office. It's long after the protagonist Henry Chinaski (Bukowski) has established himself as a poet and living the life of some moderate fame and success. He still drinks excessively and messes around with mad women, the most impressionable being Lydia who is insane, he's always attracting the mad ones. This book was very enjoyable though I think only fans of Bukowski will appreciate it's verse. It helps if you are a misanthrope.
