Sorry for the bump, but has anyone ever read anything by Charles Bukowski? I was recently recommended this book:
[ QUOTE ]
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.

It sounds pretty interesting, and the reviews have been relatively good. Can anyone back this up?
