Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

The late poet, novelist, and (spare the expression) man of letters, Charles Bukowski, is said to have left many books-worth of material in the can (so to speak), but this characteristically gritty piece of Bukowskiana is no patchwork, and was complete and in production at the time of his death. All of Bukowski will one day be essential to every collection--and never cheaper than now.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Opening with the exotic Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Celine, this novel demonstrates Bukowski's own brand of humour and realism, opening up a landscape of seamy Los Angeles.

Keith, November 21, 2007 (view all comments by Keith)
I'm slightly ambivalent towards this book. I have read a bit of Bukowski's poetry and loved it, but this is the first novel of his that I've read (and it's the last novel he wrote). It's dedicated to 'bad writing', and at a reading you would be want to see why, as the writing is fairly atrocious at times, but the plot twists, including Lady Death, seemingly immortal authors, the unfaithful wife, invasion of space aliens, loan sharks, phone sex, and more are at times hilarious, and poignant, as is the dialog. That's what sucked me in to this fast-paced farce of a detective novel and why I'd recommend it to almost anyone (who doesn't have tender sensibilities).
