"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.
