A semi-autobiographical novel about Bukowski's experiences working at the United States Postal Service. "Chinaski" spends much of his time hungover, chasing women, drinking more, betting on horses, and dealing with gruff supervisors and often ridiculous rules and regulations. Often darkly humorous, this novel is a strong, accessible start to the world of Bukowski.

Remarkably well written literature. Poetic. Sad. Honest. A hopeless story of a poor alcoholic stumbling through life.

Great!  Raunchy and debauched, but raw - loved it.  Different kind of depressing compared to Ham and Rye - not as visceral, more melancholic
