The Most Beautiful Woman in Town by Charles Bukowski

recommended for: male pigs; people without livers; judy and her dream of horses
Jesus Christ, I've been awake for like 24 hours and my tongue hurts and I've been eating 2 pieces of bread for an hour, but I couldn't resist this one.
I'd really only read Chuck's poetry before, but I enjoyed it and bought this collection of stories after someone told me it would be a nice birthday gift for the lady friend.
I think this person hated me. I almost had an anxiety attack after I read it; Bukowski's MO seems to involve drinking excessive beer, having somewhat selfish sex with girls whom he alternately refers to as "bitch," "cunt," "whore," "slut," and pretty much any other derogatory term you can think of. Shortly following, he usually uses the empty bottles to inflict some pain on said female(s). Other variations include coughing up blood, betting on horses, getting blowjobs from men who mistake him for someone else, and turning into a inch-tall man used as a human dildo for his overbearing girlfriend.
In other words, not ...more
