Kerouac was restless like Bukowski, the biggest difference is when you read Kerouac, it feels like he's taking a vacation with the dregs, the cons, the miscreants.. Bukowski feels much more like he is one of them and the vacation is his writing. If that makes sense.

Not bad narrator. Chinaski probably hasn't thrown any beer bottles from his grave. Work in San Pedro years ago, doing construction work in a school, work started at 7am. Anyway i used get there early like 5:45am so i could have breakfast at this joint that look stuck in time. I like that place because it had two hot waitresses, with good legs and beautiful buttocks, i like the way they wiggle their stuff when they brought my food and when they walk away, plus they smell like early spring, and that made all of me happy. I think by then i had read all of Chinaski's books, and i used to get a little nostalgic reminiscing on my life and how this old fool help cope with the shit i had going on back them. I got me writing dirty stories and poems, plus he might given a little push to beer bottles i used to drink from the grave. To make this short, I'm pretty sure he used hang there at musky restaurant, looking at those lean legs and firm buttocks. At end of each meal i walked the end street for s few minutes, and now and then a crackhead will appear from the alleys or some build, and just walk away into the distance, i drove a couple of times by his house but never when to the cemetery. Got to let the old man rest i said to myself

Many of his works are labeled as "autobiographical" by various sources; but Bukowski would usually write something like "This is presented as a work of fiction and dedicated to nobody" in his novels, and this one, in particular, had that written. So, no, it's most likely some truths but a lot of fiction too. It's almost idealistic, in some parts.

My thoughts? It was the first introduction novel to Bukowski for me! I loved it. The most raw and honest thing I've read in a while.

My, I don't remember how I came across this guy but I fear he has exposed me to a world that one of my son lives. I hope to understand him better.He is a kind heart, but the world around him is not that. Well we all know that but some of us go about as we know something and others are just mad. Everyone is a little crazy and looking deeper, I relate well with this man even though from a different time and culture. I smell every scene that he describes like I am there with Him just observing. He takes the reader to the reality of life behind eloquence, suits and ties, tidy organised looking environments, that man you see in church, that woman that educates ones child that person you meet in the street and bring home and make a partner out of them, he changes the way I see the post man even though this is fiction. I am glad I started with Rye and Ham as this introduced me to the man himself. I will read on, to find out whether he thought his mother did him a favour to see him off his home with a $10 note (Ham and Rye) Heaven must be fun to receive this man as earth must have been getting small for His big mind as writer and a human just wanting to be left to be himself but never seemed to have chance to.
