Bukowski has his individual voice and makes it heard. I recently read some of his short stories in Tales of Ordinary Madness and this reads like a novelization of one of those short stories. As then, it just seems like once you have read one or two, you have read them all. I agree with an earlier reviewer that this is raw and a window into an alternate lifestyle, but it's not much of a lifestyle and is soon all too predictable in any given situation. ANy one or two of his books stand up as literature, but I doubt I will read much more of him.
