When it comes down to it, Bukowski sounds like a truly despicable human being, who probably raped multiple women during his life if his autobiographical tales are any indication (alternatively, if he mused about it delightedly only in the fictional sense, is that really any better?). But...he is a great writer, who captures the painful experiences of life, harsh and gritty. Difficult to reconcile.

Ya know how sometimes while reading a book you start to wish you could hang out with the author? Yeah not so much with Charles Bukowski.
Refreshingly harsh though. And damn, does he know how to write about LA.
