henry chinaski -- the king of premature ejaculations and fucking premature women. this was a madhouse to read. wild, disturbing and criminal. henry chinaski is going to hell. may the pantheresses be free of men like him. i hope people vomit on his grave. if you found this book relatable.... i'm deathly afraid of you. this is fanfiction for men just like him. the horror of it all is the realization that this is reality. there are people who truly live like this. an alternative title for this book should be WHORE because henry chinaski didn't see these people as women, but as objects of his gross sexual desires. i did enjoy the short chapters and the fast paced format. this is my first bukowski book and i described it as writing for people with adhd. i hypothesize the sentences are short and curt because he's a poet. overall i found this torture to read but i promised i wouldn't hate the person who recommended it to me.
