timechewer 's review for:
Love Is a Dog from Hell
by Charles Bukowski
The few strikingly beautiful moments here are all drowned out by vulgarity so excessive that it loses any weight it could have carried.
I have to say, though – I really enjoyed Bukowski's novel, Ham on Rye. The precise and rhythmic prose made it such a page-turner, and all the bitterness and frustration it blistered with felt quite apt for the young, angsty teenage protagonist.
Seeing he has carried this attitude over into middle age(as this poetry book makes abundantly clear) is disappointing, and, frankly, terribly sad.
