    Any fans?

    I was mesmerised by Post Office and followed it up with Factotum, Women, and Ham on Rye.

    Ham on Rue was wonderful, unquestionably his greatest work. And while there's a lot to be liked in both Factotum and Women, it is essentially the same shtick ad nauseum. Bukowski is a bit of a one trick pony but as tricks go, it's rather excellent.,

    Yes I've read all of them and love his writing. I also love reading about drinking and ****ing.
