Write Up Containing Books The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories

The title story is awesome. NONE of the rest are like it. The others are great but all like each other. Well, Bukowski makes no apologies for knowing what he knows and writing what he knows (horses and beer and sluts and sex and writing and publishing and shit jobs and bumming about and horses and beer and sex and writing and beer shits and hospital trips and everyone's horny all the goddamn time.) I imagine this sort of thing is a thrill to discover as a teenager: "Whoah! This is literature?!"

Nothing surprising here, as Bukowski is . . . well . . . Bukowski. But truth be told, many of these short stories lacked the punch Bukowski is known for, as they appeared rushed, unedited, and, at times, repetitious on themes (which is also typical Bukowski). There were a few really good stories, a bunch of average stories, and a couple that rubbed me the wrong way. One, in particular, depicts a grown man fantasizing about a little girl, whom he ends up raping in a garage while her two boy

Unfortunatelly I have 1 point. If there was 0.001 point I'd give it. Is there anything else to learn from any story: NO, Is it erotic: NO, I don't like.

I doubt, if I had ever met him, I would have liked Charles Bukowski. His character and habits were rather distasteful. I doubt he'd have liked me much either.

As he wrote in one of the short stories in this collection: the poor know the meaning of life; the rich and

He sure loves talking about his dick ahaha

Okay, there is something about Bukowski that speaks to me, that i can relate with. Maybe it is who i am; maybe i am a lot like him.I'm not saying that i support the way he treats women or how he lived his whole life on booze and sex and women, and even made his characters such, but it's just something about the whole combination that appeals to me. Some part of it, for sure, is his crudity. He is ruthless, he is harsh, he is stubborn and insensitive. I am him. I am all those things and more. He

A lot of the stories in this collection were already familiar to me through Bukowskis other collections, because this is pretty much a collection of different stories from different places that are all pulled into one under the general theme of the women that he met throughout his life. And of course, because its Bukowski, its offensive as shit if you dont want to read about alcoholism, bigotry, all sorts of weird sex stuff and just the darker side of humanity as a whole.Still, its a pretty good
