Although Bukowski stylizes this last novel as apulp fiction, he introduces doubt himself, writing that if someone knows that something is a pulp, it must already have some other, deeper meaning. Have any of you discovered this sense? Just look on this quote:
“I mean, say that you figure that everything is senseless, then it can't be quite senseless because you are aware that it's senseless and your awareness of senselessness almost gives it sense. You know what I mean?”
And do you have an idea of what the Red Sparrow symbolizes in this novel? The Red Sparrow, that is yellow inside, like a canary ...Repainted by a divine mafia? Any figure of communism? Allusion to the name of his publisher's house (The Black Sparrow)?
