Title: Weird, Ridiculous, Sleazy Fun!
Review: This is a wonderful, love it or hate it collection of Bukowski's weird, ridiculous, and sleazy short stories, bizarre little slices of life from the mean streets and the underground. Sure, there are a few headscratchers and stinkers tossed in (including one really bizarre supernatural witchcraft tale that feels out of place), but overall, I'd say 85% of the stories are fun reads.Another great collection of Buk's short fiction isThe Most Beautiful Woman in Town, with about 85% awesome stories in it, too. Buk's other shorts anthology,Tales of Ordinary Madness, is pretty terrible by comparison, with only a few gems, and less than half the stories being even halfway decent (warning: the rest are crap).Newcomers to Buk would be better off beginning with one of his novels:Ham on Rye: A Novel(his very best),post office: A Novel,Factotum tie-in, andWomen: A Novel.
