Not for me. The first third was interesting enough. I have a soft spot for coming-of-age stories. I'm content with the gentle and touching, as well as with the gritty and dry.
Yet it all became repetitive.
I recommend this one to those who are under 25, male, enjoy lots of gritty realism.
I'll try another Bukowski one day, but I'm in no hurry.

Supongo que hay que tener en cuenta por un lado, la debida separación de obra y autor, por otro, que me guste los temas que trata y cómo no tiene miedo a mostrar lo más bajo de la especie humana. Realismo sucio.

I have many negative thoughts about ham on rye but it’s also so girlie coded while also being misogynistic it’s next level

Relatable, witty, and brutally honest. The prose here is amazing while keeping a casual feel. Bukowski is one of my favorite writers.

Finished this last night, a good book. Not the kinds I read but the way struggles of author have been talked about, during a time when the world was facing Great Depression, was commendable. Some things are not relatable because of the time when it happened but there many things which can be still relatable.
