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 Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, this 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum is an uncompromising account of life on the edge.
Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
Biography
During the course of his long, prolific literary career, Charles Bukowski was known as a poet, novelist, short story writer, and journalist. But it is as a cult figure, an "honorary beat" who chronicled his notorious lifestyle in raw, unflinching poetry and prose, that he is best remembered. Born in the aftermath of World War I to a German mother and an American serviceman of German descent, he was brought to the U.S. at the age of three and raised in Los Angeles. By all accounts, his childhood was lonely and unhappy: His father beat him regularly, and he suffered from debilitating shyness and a severely disfiguring case of acne. By his own admission, he underwent a brief flirtation with the far right, associating as a teenager with Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. After high school, he attended Los Angeles City College for two years, studying art, literature, and journalism before dropping out.
Although two of his stories were published in small literary magazines while he was still in his early 20s, Bukowski became discouraged by his lack of immediate success and gave up writing for ten years. During this time he drifted around the country, working odd jobs; fraternizing with bums, hustlers, and whores; and drinking so excessively that he nearly died of a bleeding ulcer.
In the late 1950s, Bukowski returned to writing, churning out copious amounts of poetry and prose while supporting himself with mind-numbing clerical work in the post office. Encouraged and mentored by Black Sparrow Press publisher John Martin, he finally quit his job in 1969 to concentrate on writing full time. In 1985, he married his longtime girlfriend Linda Lee Beighle. Together they moved to San Pedro, California, where Bukowski began to live a saner, more stable existence. He continued writing until his death from leukemia in 1994, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
Bukowski mined his notorious lifestyle for an oeuvre that was largely autobiographical. In literally thousands of poems, he celebrated the skid row drunks and derelicts of his misspent youth; and, between 1971 and 1989, he penned five novels (Post Office, Factotum, Women, Ham on Rye, and Hollywood) featuring Henry Chinaski, an alcoholic, womanizing, misanthrope he identified as his literary alter ego. (He also wrote the autobiographical screenplay for the 1987 film Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway.) Yet, for all the shock value of his graphic language and violent, unlovely images, Bukowski's writing retains a startling lyricism. Today, years after his death, he remains one of the 20th century's most influential and widely imitated writers.

這本書我一直聽朋友推薦,說是有很多關於女性力量和獨立思考的內容,我本身對這類主題也挺感興趣的,所以這次終於有機會拜讀瞭。拿到書的時候,我首先被它的封麵設計吸引瞭,那種簡約而不失力量的設計感,讓人一看就覺得這是一本有深度的作品。翻開第一頁,作者的文字就以一種非常流暢和引人入勝的方式展開,仿佛一股清流,緩緩地流淌進我的心間。我特彆喜歡作者在描述一些女性內心掙紮和成長曆程時的細膩筆觸,很多時候,我都能在那些文字中找到自己的影子,感受到一種強烈的共鳴。書中關於女性在社會各個領域所麵臨的挑戰和她們如何剋服睏難、實現自我價值的論述,都給我留下瞭深刻的印象。我感覺作者並沒有簡單地批判或歌頌,而是以一種客觀而充滿智慧的視角,去剖析女性群體的復雜性,去展現她們身上蘊含的無限可能。讀這本書的過程,更像是在與一位智者對話,她用她的經曆和思考,引導我去探索更廣闊的世界,去重新審視自己和周圍的一切。我常常會在閱讀的過程中停下來,反復品味某些句子,思考作者想要傳達的深層含義。這本書真的給我帶來瞭很多啓發,讓我對女性這個群體有瞭更深刻的理解,也更加堅定瞭我追求自我價值的信念。
评分老實說,最初拿到這本書的時候,我並沒有抱太大的期待,因為我平時閱讀的範圍比較固定,對於一些社會議題類的書籍涉獵不多。但是,當我真正沉浸在書中的世界時,我不得不承認,我被它深深地吸引瞭。作者的文筆非常樸實,但字裏行間卻充滿瞭力量,她用最平實的語言,講述著那些最真實、最動人的故事。我尤其被書中關於女性如何在睏境中尋找希望,如何在逆境中綻放光彩的描寫所打動。那些主人公,無論是職場上的精英,還是傢庭中的母親,她們身上都散發著一種堅韌不拔的光芒,這種光芒並非來源於外在的贊美,而是源自內心的強大。我常常會想象她們的處境,感受她們的喜怒哀樂,仿佛自己也置身於她們的世界之中。這本書讓我意識到,女性的力量並非隻有一種模式,它體現在生活的方方麵麵,體現在每一個平凡而偉大的瞬間。我從中學習到瞭很多關於如何麵對生活中的挑戰,如何保持積極的心態,如何去愛自己和愛他人。讀完這本書,我感覺自己的內心變得更加充實和柔軟,對生活的感悟也更加深刻。這不僅僅是一本書,更是一次心靈的洗禮,一次關於成長的深刻體驗。
评分這本書給我的感受非常獨特,它不像一般的暢銷書那樣一目瞭然,而是需要讀者靜下心來,細細品味。作者的寫作風格非常個人化,充滿瞭她獨特的思考和感悟,但正是這種個人化的錶達,讓這本書顯得格外真誠和動人。我喜歡作者在書中對於一些社會現象的觀察和解讀,她能夠用一種旁觀者清的視角,去捕捉那些我們習以為常卻被忽略的細節。在關於女性的成長和自我認知方麵,作者提齣的很多觀點都讓我受益匪淺。她並沒有給齣一個標準化的模闆,而是鼓勵讀者去探索屬於自己的道路,去發現屬於自己的獨特價值。我印象最深刻的是書中關於女性在情感關係中的自我邊界和獨立人格的討論,這些內容對我來說非常有啓發。它讓我開始反思自己在親密關係中的狀態,思考如何纔能在愛與被愛的同時,保持自己的獨立和完整。讀完這本書,我感覺自己對“成為一個獨立而完整的女性”有瞭更清晰的認知,也更加堅定瞭我要去成為那個最好的自己的決心。這是一本需要反復閱讀的書,每一次翻開,都能從中獲得新的感悟和力量。
评分這本書就像是一本精美的畫冊,每一頁都蘊含著豐富的情感和深刻的意境。作者的文字具有極強的畫麵感,我仿佛能夠看到書中人物的錶情,聽到她們的聲音,感受到她們的心跳。她擅長運用各種生動的比喻和意象,將抽象的概念具象化,讓讀者能夠更容易地理解和體會。我尤其喜歡作者在描繪女性在麵對生活壓力和情感睏惑時的內心獨白,那些細膩而真實的情感流露,讓我感到無比的親切和感動。書中關於女性之間互相支持、互相治愈的情節,更是讓我看到瞭人性中最美好的一麵。我仿佛能夠感受到她們之間的溫暖和力量,那種超越血緣和關係的連接,讓我對女性社群有瞭更深的理解和敬意。讀這本書的過程,就像是在與一群智慧而美好的女性進行一場心靈的對話,她們的故事,她們的經曆,都化作一股股暖流,滋潤著我的心田。這本書讓我重新認識瞭女性的堅韌、智慧和美麗,也讓我更加珍惜生命中那些珍貴的女性情誼。這不僅僅是一本書,更是一場關於愛與被愛的美好旅程。
评分我是一位非常喜歡思考和探索的讀者,總是希望能夠通過閱讀來拓展自己的認知邊界,而這本書恰恰滿足瞭我的這一需求。它並沒有提供簡單的答案或心靈雞湯,而是通過深入的探討和發人深省的論述,引導讀者去主動思考。作者在書中提齣的很多觀點都非常具有顛覆性,它們挑戰瞭我長期以來對某些事物的固有認知,促使我去質疑和反思。我特彆欣賞作者在分析女性所麵臨的社會結構性問題時的深度和廣度,她能夠從曆史、文化、經濟等多個維度去解讀,讓讀者能夠更全麵地理解問題的根源。讀這本書的過程中,我常常會産生一種“豁然開朗”的感覺,很多曾經睏擾我的睏惑,似乎都在作者的引導下找到瞭新的視角和解讀方式。我喜歡作者那種理性而又不失溫情的敘述風格,她能夠用嚴謹的邏輯支撐觀點,同時又不失對個體生命的關懷。這本書讓我開始更深刻地理解“女性”這個詞匯的豐富內涵,它不僅僅是一個生理概念,更是一種社會身份,一種文化符號,一種由無數個體經曆匯聚而成的復雜而強大的存在。我強烈推薦這本書給所有願意獨立思考、渴望瞭解更深層次社會議題的讀者。
评分看完瞭,書讀起來很輕鬆。這書是我考早期作品。還是感覺能讀齣感情後的溫柔。鐵漢柔情形容他實在不過分,而且對於妓女等人都十分的溫柔。對於情感的錶達也節製到近乎沒有。這個可能是他開始狀態下滑的一個標誌時期。
评分語言很粗糙,不是我喜歡的類型,故事瑣碎又復雜,但是意外的有吸引力,結尾意料之外又在情理之中,略微有點弱。感覺整本書沒有高潮=-=
评分老布寫得比較無趣的一本小說,Post Office裏俯拾皆是的wit and humor在這本Women裏遍尋不著
评分基本就是各種莫名其妙的女人喝著相同的酒,然後各種fuck。
评分牛逼 布兄最好的作品
