This is an interesting novel published in 1978. It is about a writer in his 50's that has acheived a sort of celebrity as a writer, poet, alcoholic and womanizer. It makes you wonder if this is what Charles Bukowsi's life was like at that time. If it was, he was having a lot of fun! The main character, Henry, is an average guy with the ability to write, give poerty readings and bed many beautiful young women. There is a lot of graphic gratuitous sex in the novel, which I enjoyed immensly. Henry is honest with the women he beds about his conquests. It is interesting because I did not realize that people were that open about sex during that time. Apparently not much has changed since 1978.
