Negative Positive
Title: A must read for any Barfly fan.
Review: This novel by Charles Bukowski is basically the making of the movie Barfly. All of the people are recognizable even if given not so obvious fictional names. If you are a lover of Bukowski and a lover of Barfly the movie, this is a five star classic. If you are a lover of either of the above----it's still a four star, well written work. I found that this novel exceeds both Pulp and Women, his other known longer works, in both writing style and movement of plot and characters. Theme wise it takes you to the familiar places that Bukowski often drags you to.
