Quatri�me 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

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Henry Chinaski, c'est Bukowski lui-m�me, un �crivain alcoolique et grand amateur de femmes. Elles d�filent dans ce r�cit, v�ritables cr�atures felliniennes : Lydia Vance qui se r�v�le d'une jalousie f�roce, Mercedes la capiteuse, Dee Dee la m�re c�libataire, Joanna la cam�e, Katherine la Texane incendiaire, et bien d'autres encore ; les occasions pleuvent sur un po�te en vogue ! La norme est triste pour Bukowski, alors vive les mots orduriers, l'ivresse et la d�bauche sexuelle ! Le c�l�bre auteur des Contes de la folie ordinaire crie � nouveau son mal de vivre, son d�sir sans cesse renaissant de tendresse et de sexe.
