Love Is a Dog from Hell by Charles Bukowski

4.0

---

I was tempted to give it 5 stars. The first of Bukowski’s work that I’ve read but it seemed incredible how thoroughly confessional this confessional poetry was. He is arrogant, but knows his downfalls and accepts them with a sort of cheerful nihilism. I would be very interested in reading some of his later work to see if and how his self-reflections change.
