"The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles."--Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author
"He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels."--Leonard Cohen, songwriter
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 Charles Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, Women, the 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum, is an uncompromising account of life on the edge.
Tells the story of an ugly old man who has gone unloved for too long, but a change comes over him as he begins more and more relationships with women.
