Um diário tipicamente "Bukowskiano", onde entre corridas de cavalos, bebida, música clássica e uma visão errante sobre o ser humano, Bukowski partilha uma visão muito própria dos seus últimos anos de vida.
"A writer owes nothing except to his writing. He owes nothing to the reader except the availability of the printed page...The best reader and the best human is the one who rewards me with his or her absence."
"Writing is when I take death out of my left pocket, throw him against the wall and catch him as he bounces back."

Bukowski invites you into his intimate space and let's you in on his routine and thoughts. Great way to get into a writers head; relaxing and calming.

دوست دارم که در زندگی بعدی ام گربه باشم، روزی ۲۰ ساعت بخوابم و منتظر غذا باشم، در گوشه ای بنشینم و ماتحتم را بلیسم. انسانها بدبخت و عصبی اند، تک بعدی فکر میکنند.
ناخدا ناهار رفته و ملوانان کشتی را تسخیر کرده اند

It's not a bad book, just not a particularly good one. It's basically the nightly reflections of a talented writer. Some nights things are humming, other nights there's not much happening.
