Bukowsky is to literature what punk is to music. Overrated shit with no poetic content whatsoever.

I thought one of the saddest parts was when he was playing baseball as a child. He hit the ball and was at first base, waiting for the next pitch. The first baseman stared him in the face. He asked, "What the hell are you looking at?" Chinaski stared back "I didn't know what to say. I wasn't used to conversation." He was so isolated as a child he thought that direct challenge was conversation. He was a sad man who captured his pathetic childhood nearly perfectly in his book. Great stuff.
