carolllllll 's review for:
Tales of Ordinary Madness
by Charles Bukowski, Gail Chiarrello (Editor)
First Buk flop for me
Book quote: "Something else is hurting you - that’s why you need pot or whiskey, or whips and rubber suits, or screaming music turned so fucking loud you can’t think."
Book review: I have read several books by Bukowski but this was the first one that I listened to. It was a bad idea. Subjects of alcoholism and women never bothered me until I heard it narrated by a very convincing Bukowski voice that just instilled in me a thought I never imagined I'll have. "This man is repulsive."
"Tales" is a collection of stories which is different from what I usually read of Bukowski's. I think the only collection of stories that I've read of his was Hot Water Music. The others are a collection of poetry and prose.
I still have 2 unread books of his and I'm going to read those one day. I'm still a fan but I'm gonna stay away from this one.
