I'll sum it up for you.
Drink, fuck, drink, horse race, drink, driiiiiiiink, write, drink, drink, watch a boxing match, give a reading, drink, fuck, drink, fuck, fuck, sleep, drink, write, drink, drink, fuck, drink, fuck, give a reading, drink, fuck, drink, fuuuuuuuck, drink, drink, fuck, fuck, drink, fuck.
These are the names of the ladies in his life: Lydia, Katherine, Joanna, Nicole, Debra, Tanya, Gertrude, Hilda, Iris, Mercedes, Liza,and Tammie. (There are others; I missed a few.)
There is some remarkable insight hidden within these pages.
What I liked most is the crude honesty and the brutal humanity. Bukowski's passion is exhilarating.

"You're so full of shit!"
I laughed. "That's why I write."

Heyyyyyy, thanks! From the summary, it seems like a boring two-dimensional story, but the narrative "popped out" of the pages for me. I could feel him in myself in a way. It felt real. I connected with the self-deprecating wretched aloneness. ;-)
"Self-deprecating wretched aloneness"...Agreed. It's one of my faves of his, one of the few I've re-read... I need to see more of his poetry.
