"It began as a mistake." By middle age, Henry Chinaski has lost
more than twelve years of his life to the U.S. Postal Service. In a
world where his three true, bitter pleasures are women, booze, and
racetrack betting, he somehow drags his hangover out of bed every
dawn to lug waterlogged mailbags up mud-soaked mountains, outsmart
vicious guard dogs, and pray to survive the day-to-day trials of
sadistic bosses and certifiable coworkers. This classic 1971
novel--the one that catapulted its author to national fame--is the
perfect introduction to the grimly hysterical world of legendary
writer, poet, and Dirty Old Man Charles Bukowski and his fictional
alter ego, Chinaski.
