Title: Terse, dispassionate, precise
Product review: While this book supplied some material for both Barfly and the movie of the same name, one of the things that makes it unique to me is how it expresses a WWII America where so many men had gone to war that one man ends up taking on all jobs. Bukowski's style was at its best here, focused razor sharp. He does take some wish fulfillment liberties but it's possible it's intended as jab at good ol' Henry Miller. Lots of hilarious scenes, and a terse poignancy in the fate of an alienated wanderer.
