Women

The novel “Women” was written by him during the wave of Bukowski’s popularity and contains a great many of his signature “features”: self-irony, an abundance of sexual scenes, and the energy of the plot. The hero of the book is 50 years old; his name is Henry Chinaski, and he is the author’s unchanging alter ego. The novel is a series of more than frank sexual scenes, united by the main thing— the hero’s endless love for his women, his admiration for them, and a rough, yet sincere sense of admiration.
