I can't believe anyone decent would like Bukowski's writing and the stories he tells. To me it's a disgusting mix of alcoholism, misogyny, sexism, violence and pessimism. Would not ever recommend Bukowski. Not sure if I will pick up anything of his again. 0.25 stars because it was intriguing enough for me to read the whole collection of short stories. There was not one story I even remotely liked but I kept hoping for one that would redeem all the others and show me why so many people have read and loved his work.
