Love Is a Dog from Hell by Charles Bukowski

4.0

If you got past the hipster pseudo-pretentiousness of enjoying Bukowski congratulations you get a gold star. No for real this is a great selection, Bukowski is an excellent poet and whether you love or hate him it is undeniable that he is one of the most painfully honest salty old bastards this side of, say, Louis ck. Wow I never thought I'd draw that comparison. Anyways, he writes about women, if you were unsure, and I'll be honest mostly I was fine with that but he tended to talk about young girls, like school aged and that's pretty gross, and put me off a bit.

I think he is mostly known for his talk of women but this poor alcoholic sod should have been known for cum soaked sheets and dirty underwear to be honest. It's not often that a poet discusses in such detail his own life but bukowski did so like a fourteen year old on Facebook and it absolutely worked.

I did enjoy this selection though, and his style is perfectly portrayed in this one. If you are just getting into bukowski I would definitely recommend this one.
