Book Reviews of The First Third
Book Review: Bukowski said it better
Summary: 1 Stars
The Beat-Ups had an unrealistic romantic notion of the heartland and the sticks. They slummed their way through America and insisted that everyone else share their own infantilism, incredulity and narcissism. Bukowski, rather, tells it like it is without any literary pretensions and pleading for understanding. On the Road and other such stuff is useful as a historical document of pre-interstate road travel, and not much else.
Beat-Ups should grow up, get a job and pay the rent.
I heartily advise you all to read Ham on Rye and Post Office. This will give you an insight into real America.
