Same content every chapter. Way too sexually explicit content that is unnecessary.
He rapes some of them (since they ask him to stop and he doesn’t, but he calls them whores) but he goes unpunished and he believes he did nothing wrong.

The one thing I have to give to Bukowski is that he is a really good writer. What a waste that he writes books vilifying women and seeing them as mere sexual objects. In 290 pages only one or two paragraphs were relevant.
