Pulp Charles Bukowski Books

Never read any of Bukowski's work before this one. Some people say that your need to read his more serious work to really "get" this one, but I wholeheartedly disagree. If you're a fan of literature, and have read a good deal of stories over the years, you will find this one pretty darn funny. If you're uptight, or are some kind of literature purist, then steer clear, but if you appreciate some great tongue-in-cheek humor, and an obvious "thumbing-of-the-nose" at "proper" literature, then check this out for sure!

I've been laughing my ass off reading this one. :-)

Pulp Charles Bukowski Books Reviews

If you want to laugh a lot, I highly recommend this excellent send up of the pulp fiction genre!
After all that he had said and done, maybe this is his masterpiece.
We're 20 years into his going out of this world, and he is more important than ever.
Great writing, great vision, and plenty of enjoyable bulls***.
I love that man.
Outstanding!
Was there on the LA race ground, but the guy was gone. Met Georgie Clooney instead.
No comparison.
Enjoy!
If you are an avid Bukowski fan READ his last work. It is so different and you think you know where it is heading...but WHAM! I read it once but knowing it was his last work I bought it to read again. I have been collecting Charles Bukowski works from 1981-present and this one really hurt my heart.
One either understands where Bukowski's coming from, or they have a decent and happy life!
This is most likely Bukowski's best. He saved the best for last. A thoroughly enjoyable novel in the Bukowski genre while also including the classic manner of all other detective novels. You can feel yourself right in the scenes with these characters. It is a shame he did not live to write another one like "Pulp."
The book is dedicated to bad writing...seriously?

Yep, and one of the most important literary proponents of not giving a s*** about anything is behind it.

This review doesn't require much, and reading of the book requires little to no mental faculties. It's a poorly written detective novel, and it's as usual a beautiful print. Black Sparrow knew how to handle things in that regard.

If you haven't read Bukowski, I wouldn't start here, but like a badass he ended his career here. In my opinion, his best book is Ham on Rye, but it takes balls to intentionally write something this horrible; thus, this beautiful. Read HOR, and then give this a try, and don't take it seriously...otherwise you've missed the point and missed out on an otherwise entertaining and hilarious read.

Happy reading!
As this was Bukowski's last work, I am left wondering whether he was at his best, or his worst. Either way, the dialogue is very fast and has wide open gaps which the reader will either enjoy or hate. I personally loved it because Bukowski is testing the reader at every turn. You gotta work for this one. And isn't that so much like talking to an old guy with experience? You gotta fill in the gaps because they don't have the time or energy to spoon feed ya, kid. This is Bukowski having fun with you at the bar. The ending was a bit odd for his style however. I am wondering if he died before he could finish. In any case, it doesn't detract as long as the reader is aware. I highly recommend this book as a fun and loose ride.
