Summary

Charles Bukowski: The most beautiful woman in town

»I lived for ten years without a job. People gave me money, food, apartments where I stayed. Whether they thought I was an idiot or a genius didn't matter. I knew what I was. I was neither. What prompted people to give me gifts was of no concern to me. I have received gifts and I have received them without a sense of victory or/and coercion. My only setting was not to ask for anything... That's one of my problems: I've never fought for even the smallest trifle..." writes Bukowski in one of these 30, mostly autobiographical, stories. This, of course, means that we meet again with poets, pimps, drunkards, whores, gamblers, idlers and other friends of the author, whom he placed this time in a hotter environment: the stories are more aggressive, harder, more brutal, darker, and some are even shocking; some bring tears to the eyes - some from laughter, some from crying...
All in all, Bukowski proves once again that he is one of the most original talents of short stories - for some writers, not even five hundred pages are enough to say what he can easily write in ten. Anyone who reads this - in many ways the most beautiful - collection, will be able to testify to the unbearable lightness of the storytelling that the old scoundrel provides in his wacky notes.
At the end of this note, another typical Buk reflection: "And now, forgive me, dear readers, I'll go back to whores and horses and booze, while I still have time. If death is contained in them, then, in my opinion, it seems much less offensive to be responsible for your own death than to die from the death they bring to you decorated with phrases about Freedom and Democracy and Humanity and/or any or all of that Bullshit."
