Ha, the last Chinaski's tale.
Bukowski writing a book about writing a screenplay turning into a movie.
This is some subtle genius right here.

It was good, funny, and while I did take a long time to read it, I had a fun time.
The introduction by Howard Sounes was great and taught me a few things I didn't know about Buke.

The only downsids was I did not get any references about the producers, directors, actors.. I know I missed on some more fun because of that.

But it was still very funny, just some down-to-earth, unbothered Buke writing about how ridiculous Hollywood can be.
