Quatrième de couverture :
'If I had been born a woman I would certainly have been a prostitute. Since I had been born a man, I craved women constantly, the lower the better'
Low life writer and alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. Now, at the age of fifty, he is living the life of a rock star, running three hundred hangovers a year and a sex life that would cripple Casanova. Women is a riotous and uncompromisingly vivid account of life on the edge.
Along with Post Office and Factotum, Women is a classic bestselling novel from Charles Bukowski, widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.
'One of those writers whom each new reader discovers with a transgressive thrill'
New Yorker

New Yorker
Low-life writer and unrepentant alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, blowing his cash on booze and women, and scrimping by in flea-bitten apartments, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at fifty, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life, running three hundred hangovers a year, and maintaining a sex life that would cripple Casanova.
With all of Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, this 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum is an uncompromising account of life on the edge.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First UK Edition. First printing of the first UK edition. Originally published in the US by Black Sparrow Press, Santa Barbara in 1978. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. Boards clean and unmarked. Tiny unobtrusive bump to the bottom corner of the front board. Tail of spine very slightly rubbed. No foxing to the page block edges. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. Cheap paper stock just very lightly tanned as usual. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £6.95 net. The dustwrapper is complete, with just a tiny crease to the bottom corner of the front panel, and a hint of creasing to the tail of the spine. No serious creases or tears. Unusually, there is no fading to the light-sensitive red colour on the spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper crisp and bright. ***291 pages. 224mm x 140mm. ***'"Women" is a hard-hitting, savage, energetic tour de force about love and death and sex and drink, written by a man who lives life on the edge and who is now poised to gain the recognition his talent so richly deserves.' ***'Charles Bukowski has published more than thirty books of poetry and prose and the brilliance of his work has won him a devoted following in America and on the continent. Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean Genet both called him 'the best poet in America' and he has been hailed as 'the most important short story writer since Hemingway.' Women is a novel.' (Quotes taken from the front flap and back panel of the dustwrapper respectively) ***First printing of the first UK edition, extremely hard to find now, especially in the original dustwrapper in such bright, crisp, collectable condition. Of interest to collectors of the work of Charles Bukowski. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 6462
