Women by Charles Bukowski Book Summary
“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author
“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter
Low-life writer and unrepentant alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, blowing his cash on booze and women, and scrimping by in flea-bitten apartments, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at fifty, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life, running three hundred hangovers a year, and maintaining a sex life that would cripple Casanova.
With all of Charles Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, Women, the 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum, is an uncompromising account of life on the edge.

Entertainment deluxe.. This is Bukowski at his best. As always, written like a true poet. Some of the stories are so real that you almost want to ignore them because they remind you of real life, and some of those situations you prefer to deny happened to you. But then you find yourself unable to put the book down, and you just keep on reading, laughing, grimacing, and wondering how someone can write so good.
Bukowski is a god. Great read. Writes in a way that carries you through the book like a movie.
Something Sublime. There seems to be something very unique about Bukowski’s style. Maybe it is the rawness, maybe the cadence. But it is always entertaining.
A man’s take on his experience with “Women”. There was some great one liners in the book, but over all the style and prose of the book wasn’t anything to write home about. It was very simple and to the point. There isn’t a story, there isn’t a bigger picture to understand. It’s just some self loathing guy, who not only has zero respect for himself, but for the poor women that he has happen to come across. Some will find this book to be offensive others will find it to be disgusting, and others will truly find it fascinating. It’s worth the read, but just know I have gained nothing, now if you excuse me, I have to read Post Office now.
Fantastic novel for men.. This is written in simple terms, easy to read and has a lot of good phrases. I am sure it is not only for men, but they will really enjoy reading it.
Outstanding. -
Very unique. It's wasn't bad, I became bored of the same predictable storyline. But I could relate to this a little while in between serious relationships. Good reading for a classic.
The world was so much more carefree in the 70's. I read this book based on a recommendation of a frienMay still jot sure if it waS a practical joke or not! The more I read Woman the more I was convinced that Hank Moody's character in the tv series Californication was a modern day take on Hank Chinaski, the pensioner, self hating , outrageous babe magnet writer/poet who spends his days (when not writing) drinking and sleeping with woman. The daily routine of drinking and sex admittedly got a bit monotonous, however, the reader gets drawn into the game of who is going to be next and Hanks seemingly unreal ability to draw them in. If poets had this fun , all men should be writing! You forget how ugly Chinaski is supposed to be, and your imagination runs wild on how beautiful all the woman seemingly are he sleeps with. Each one 'appears' , more beautiful than the last. I enjoyed Chinaski's simple take on life, refreshing in our modern times of conflict, confusion and noise. Seems like fantasies of beautiful woman only occur in Los Angeles! Although maybe in 1975 this is how it just was...
