I heard about Charles Bukowski, the author of Post Office, from a podcast one day. They said some of the realest sentences they had ever heard came from Bukowksi.
I started doing research which lead me to his poetry which he is mostly known for. His writing is unfiltered. He describes a situation with that part of the brain you want to suppress because the reality of it scares you. Bukowski lives in reality and he’s able to describe it perfectly.
Bukowski’s books are quick reads; Post Office has 202 pages. I finished the book in a week and a half during my 30-minute-per-day reading routine.
If you enjoy writing, Bukowski’s work will show you that simple sentences are the best route for pleasurable reading. Every sentence seems to have meaning to the story. There aren’t stretches of unnecessary rants.
Get this book. It’ll help you come back to reality.
