Uncompromising and vulgar, the novel "Women" grabs you from the first pages

If you're a fan of the truth, Bukowski can serve it to you in a whiskey glass

"Women" is among the most famous works of the American writer Charles Bukowski. Known mostly for his uncompromising language, vulgarity and tying personal stories with curious moments in the lives of his friends, the author remains most faithful to his style precisely in this novel. A novel that may not appeal to everyone, but it can certainly grab the attention of the unforgiving and more free-thinking people.

The main character in "Women" is a 50-year-old incorrigible drunk, a lover of women's flesh, an indomitable rebel with a great desire to write. Quitting his steady job at the post office, he quits boring jobs to enjoy life. Henry Chinasky starts riding to parties and premieres, learns that fame is the best aphrodisiac and discovers many women among the fans. Women ready to make his life truly special.

If you haven't read any other work by Bukowski, you will quickly realize that it is difficult to distinguish between what is part of the author's real life and what is exaggerated. When writing Women, the author didn't choose his language too well, so you may be shocked at first, but suddenly you will be immersed in the iconic style and you won't want to end with just this novel.

"Women" can perfectly represent the way of thinking of Charles Bukowski. If you dig around the Internet, you will realize how many similarities there are between the author and the main character - an acoholic, addicted to gambling and women, but certainly skillful with words, and not only when he writes, but mostly then.

We should also be aware of the fact that over time, his works became more and more controversial because of the attitude towards women. But don't worry, Bukowski can also charm the ladies who are against too peppery words towards them. However, let's not forget that the most controversial knits are controversial because they contain the ugly truth.
