Love Is a Dog from Hell
by Charles Bukowski
Much to my dismay, I adore Bukowski. He’s offensive to many people, I’m sure. He’s been accused of being a misogynist and worse.
So far I’ve read 29 of his books, and there’s almost nothing he can say that offends me. However, this is the first of his works where I finally thought was too much. Too much fucking. Too many teenage girls, too many blondes.. I was much more amused when he was screwing old ugly prostitutes before he became famous.
This dissolved the illusion that he preferred old ugly whores to younger girls if given the choice.. imo he made himself sound like a common douche bag and I thought he was much cooler than that. He’s still my top two favorite writers of all time. Him, and Patti Smith, 2 opposite sides of the spectrum.
