Review: This is as good a starting place as any, for Charles Bukowski's oeuvre. - Poverty, alcohol, dissipation and adolescent acne ravaged his appearance, but, born in 1920, he side-stepped death until his seventy-third year. He lived for alcohol, predominently, but also for sex, gambling on horses and on boxing bouts, then writing about himself and his experiences, sometimes inventively, sometimes not; always readably. Literary success came late, in his fifties, but I surmise that the cashflow extended his life. It certainly improved the quality of his booze; his notoriety also kissed alive his access to nubile women of a literary bent, who wanted his notch on their bedsteads as much as he wanted theirs on his. Throughout it all he tried and mostly succeeded in being honest about himself and his intentions. He was a rolling stone, long before the pop group was invented, adding the capital letters and plural, and substituting the definite for the indefinite article. As insights go, I would also recommend: The Pleasures of the Damned: Selected Poems 1951-1993. This chug-uh-lugs along until a few months before he skipped life. The English is always accessible, the themes never lost or distorted in the verbiage...at least as far as I remember. Over to you. See what you think.

Sex aside, an interesting story of life on the seedier side of life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Women: A Novel - Post Office: A Novel - Ham on Rye: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/225328322-women-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/225328322-women-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
