Summary
Charles Bukowski: The Post Office
About his first novel Post Office (Post Office), which he published in 1971, Bukowski told me:
»For eleven years I worked at the post office. From the age of thirty-nine to fifty. I was convinced that working at the post office would get to me; I just couldn't take it anymore. Then I decided that I would become a professional writer... People knew that I quit my job, so they started to pity me and make my life even more difficult. My landlady said, 'For God's sake, you must be out of your mind. You left permanent employment and questioned social security and pension.' I really began to wonder if I hadn't gone completely crazy... It took me only nineteen days to write the entire book, in January 1970...«
After the novel was published, the reviews were very favorable... »a comical, cruel, cynical and merciless book, full of self-irony«... As in most of his books, Bukowski shows no mercy either to himself or to others... (From the afterword by Voje Šindolić)
