### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    the best collection
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2005*

I have read (as far as I know) all of Bukowski's stuff.  I love a few of the poems but a lot of them drift over me.  It is with the stories that he has won me over.  All the novels (especially Post Office and Ham on Rye) are wonderful, but his writing is best suited to short stories (and I would say the novels Factotum and Women, great as they are, are basically a novelised series of short stories...)  The best collections of short stories are The Most Beautiful Woman In Town and this one, with this one the more consistent.  There are examples of the short story in this book that I firmly believe could not be bettered, enough to make you put the book down for a minute, just to think about what you've read, and just marvel at the sheer word-economical perfection, and how his incredible turn of phrase can sum up inner thoughts and philosophies with a paucity of words.  As long as you're not easily offended, there is plenty here to blow you away.

    Mixed Bag of Bukowski Madness
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2019*

A mixed bag of Bukowski. Lots of horse racing, which often went into too much technical detail and therefore right over my head. I sometimes think his interest in the races came down to a desire to impress the hyper-masculine ghost of Hemingway.Animal crackers seems to be the most memorable story for me here. Many other stories had a shaggy-dog quality. Regardless, the quality of the writing is wonderful. If you appreciate the craft and voice of a writer, this is great. If you value the story more than anything else, this will likely be lost on you. Maybe even bore you.If you’re already a Bukowski fan, you’ll enjoy it. But I wouldn’t recommend it as a first foray into the man’s work. Start with Post Office, or Ham on Rye, or explore his poetry, which is both accessible and entertaining.
