I'm just not a short story person... "Notes on the Pest" was my favourite out of here. Wish I had seen more of that side of Bukowski's writing in this collection.

Bukowskis - vienintelis ir nepakartojamas rašytojas chuliganas. Jį galima arba mylėti arba nekęsti, bet viduriuko nerasime.

A mio parere, questo libro non è per tutti: occorre cercare di decifrare i messaggi fondamentali di cui Bukowski parla in tutta l'opera. A un primo impatto, i racconti potrebbero sembrare sconnessi e privi di un intento di denuncia, ma solo alla fine si coglie veramente il significato del libro. Il mio consiglio è di non lasciarsi scoraggiare dalle apparenze, ma di proseguire la lettura e fare uno sforzo per immergersi nello spirito bukowskiano.

The weakest Bukowski I've read. Seedlings of better stories and shaggy-dog tales that suffer for not being truly experienced through Henry Chinaski's squinting eyes.

J'ai beaucoup essayé de lire les comptes, mais du tout mon style. Je ne vais pas me forcer.

Cómo en todos los libros de cuentos, siempre hay algunos mejores y otros peores. Este caso destaca especialmente, habiendo cuentos casi perfectos y algunos olvidables.
