Rendition During Books Post Office

"It began as a mistake." By middle age, Henry Chinaski has lost more than twelve years of his life to the U.S. Postal Service. In a world where his three true, bitter pleasures are women, booze, and racetrack betting, he somehow drags his hangover out of bed every dawn to lug waterlogged mailbags up mud-soaked mountains, outsmart vicious guard dogs, and pray to survive the day-to-day trials of sadistic bosses and certifiable coworkers.

This classic 1971 novel--the one that catapulted its author to national fame--is the perfect introduction to the grimly hysterical world of legendary writer, poet, and Dirty Old Man Charles Bukowski and his fictional alter ego, Chinaski.

Column Out Of Books Post Office

A good and quick read. I love the stripped down, short and direct sentences that tell it like it is. It's minimalism but not in the Hemingwayesque style, i.e consciously being clever, instead, it's the voice that's in tune with the narrator's thought processes. This is what makes Henry Chinaski's story very addictive to read. It's also its weakness because we are never privy to the inner consciousness of Chinaski. His first wife leaves him and he just accepts it. His second leaves him and he

"It began as a mistake." No writer has written about the hoodlums, the lowlifes, the lost souls, the unemployed, the castaways etc etc more beautifully than Bukowski. He hasn't pitied them, like Dickens would. He hasn't detested them either. He has made us live their lives: talk their talk, walk their walk.The charm of this book lies in the relentless attachment of Chinaski to the US Postal Service, as he puts in thankless hours on the trot in pursuit of a life drowned in alcohol, cigarettes,

is it just me, or does reading bukowski make you want to listen to tom waits, too? finished post office last night and this morning listened to small change on the train. here are the opening lyrics to I Can't Wait to Get Off Work (And See My Baby on Montgomery Avenue): I don't mind working, 'cause I used to be jerking off most of my time in bars, I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a soda-fountain jock-jerk And a manic mechanic on cars. It's nice work if you can get it, now who the hell

Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be? This was my first book by Bukowski and I am pleasantly surprised. He provokes the readers intelligence and tolerance with every sentence he writes. I enjoyed every page, though its definitely not a light read. His writing style is everything but poetic or cultivated, but consumes you into the story almost instantly. Post Office consists of six parts that depict on Hank's life over a fourteen-year period of employment in

Thank you for registering to BarBud! Ever wandered into a bar, hoping to meet a fellow to philosophize with deep into the night, only to find yourself alone with a student bartender who simply doesn't have it in him yet? Ever wanted to approach that old lonely drunk staring into his glass, so deeply lost in his thoughts that you dare not disturb him? Ever wanted to talk nonsense with a sleazy, voluptuous barfly, laugh and kiss and stroke and fuck and drink and drink and fuck and smoke and drink

Allow me to introduce you to... HENRY CHARLES "HANK" CHINASKI:> Monumental asshole and perpetual slob. > Self destructive alcoholic.> Insincerely servile and unrepentantly sarcastic.> Void of ambition.> Unpleasant, crass, cynical, womanising jerk.> Spends his time: - propping up bars; or - losing a small fortune at the racetrack; or - brawling; or - f**king;...the latter with a claim he's an expert!Never have I come across a character that is just so disgraceful; a sad,

This is my first Charles Bukowski reading experience after watching the documentary on him called BORN INTO THIS. I found that film moving and Bukowski to be someone endearing --a misfit and self-hating artist--who set out to do for writing and poetry what the punk rockers did -- bring it back to the people. This then is a proletariat novel of sorts, about the working class. But its also very funny in its bluntness and admirable in its honesty. And that seems to be Bukowskis gift -- his raw
