Dear Charles Bukowski (may you rot in peace)
You had a way with words, and your powers of observation were not without an edge.
I quite liked your political statements, they showed that you after all used your intellect, what-ever-much was left of it in your intoxicated brain.
Your diary reminds me a bit of Celine, and maybe that was your intention, you were a man who had read a great deal.
I realise that you in your life have felt betrayed and not as valued a writer as you thought you deserved.

Picture an alien. Let's say, for convenience sake, he has a completely human appearance. He crashed on earth a few hours ago and now wanders around in a city whose name is irrelevant, while trying to get used to the possibility of having to spend the rest of his life among humans. See him as he walks through a park absorbing images and smells, pausing every once in a while to take a closer look at whatever catches his attention. Starting to feel tired, he heads toward a bench. Just before he sit...more

Rating books with stars, like bars or restaurants or anything else is pretty silly.
This was a good book to read at night while drinking pints at pubs in Seattle. A collection of 'articles' from a small(?) paper in Los Angeles (?), there's no apparent chronology or order of any kind to them. If there is, it's deep an intellectual.
And after all, an intellectual takes something simple and makes it complex, while an artist takes something complex and makes it simple. (Indirect book quote)

I had a Chuck Bukowski kick back in 2004. I moved out of my father's house the year prior, inadvertently isolated myself from most of my friends, got a soul-draining job in retail, and fallen into a bit of depression (which hardly anyone noticed). Though I hardly remember what I read, it spoke to me because I was in a toxic environment and Bukowski wrote with an honest intensity that was lacking in my life at the time.

You have to put Bukowski's sexism aside in order to enjoy his witty, often brutal tales from the American underground. Fun to read.

This one is not for the faint of heart, the delicate, nor the easily offended, but if you are bold, daring, and curious, it is somewhat entertaining. The rants, stories, and prose poems collected here are uneven in quality, but enough of them held my interest so that I was able to finish reading 'Notes of a Dirty Old Man.' Bukowski is so unflinchingly honest about everything, so don't read this if you can't handle the truth. He also exposes things some might wish they had never seen--prostitutio...more

Notes of a Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski is somewhat a autobiography of Bukowski himself but also his alter ego, Henry. This novel is mainly dealing with gabling, drinking and whoring which Bukowski is really good at, but what I find him to be even better at is his way with words and that does not show its true colours in this book.

I was expecting something witty and intelligent, what I got was violent, crude, misogynistic and highly unpleasant, in the beginning at least. After a few tens of pages it settles down into a more, well mostly, stable narrative; almost like Bukowski wanted to put off the reader from delving further into the book. Beneath the vulgarity, self-loathing and woman hating, there is a glimmer of something. Perhaps it is, as the reviews on the back cover suggest, about the futility of life. It could be...more
This is Bukowski at his visceral best - a collection of his columns originally published in 'Open City' in the 1960s. By turns hilarious, disgusting, prosaic and profound, these vignettes of distilled humanity are somehow rendered all the more powerful for the squalor and the cheap sex and the shameless alcoholism. As much as these little stories are impossible to forget, however, it is Bukowski's wry observations on life that really shine through, such as 'The difference between a brave man and...more

It's been many years since I have returned to Henry Chinaski (Charles Bukowski) and through Notes of a Dirty Old Man, I was taken on yet another sometimes befuddling and sometimes profound reading experience. Bukowski mixes his prose with personal anecdotes and downright ridiculous absurdity, like a train wreck of thought. As he was churning these out for the Open City press, I gather Bukowski would have been writing many of the stories for his own amusement, just to see how far he could stretch...more
A quick background on my exposure to Bukowski:
A number of years ago, I watched the Bukowski-scripted movie Barfly, starring Micky Rourke as Bukowski's alter-ego, Chinaski. It's a pretty good flick, which introduces the man's proclivity for drinking and fighting, as well as his exceptional talent for writing poetry and generally being character.
Much later I read 'Women', which is a largely autobiographical novel that once again uses the Chinaski character to see the world through Bukowski's eyes....more

I hadn't read any Bukowski in over a year so I thought it was about time that I carried on with my challenge which is to read everything that he's ever released.
Notes Of A Dirty Old Man is a compilation of columns and short stories that have been collected from Bukowski's early days when he was writing for Open City which was a free, leftist leaning magazine which had a politicalised agenda. Its main aim was to support and influence the non-conformist countercultures which were thriving througho...more

This is essentially a collection of Charles Bukowski's writings for an underground newspaper from the late 1960s. It's semi-autobiographical in that some appear to be true stories from his life, some are blatantly fictional, and some are written from the viewpoint of his alter-ego.

Journalism? Bukowski? Technically, yes. These writings were all first published under the by-line of “Notes Of A Dirty Old Man” in a Los Angeles free weekly called “Open City” between the years of 1967 – 1969. They largely consist of the usual semi-autobiographical fare from the author in the form of short stories and a few poems but they are essentially really more of a grab bag collection of odds and ends on a variety of subjects. Naturally, due to the confines of the printed page of the newsp...more

An exotically intellectual ilk of read.
Emphasised emotions, less-philosophical-more-empirical nature of almost everything 'viciously' came under the nib of Bukowski's pen in this semi-autobiographical journal, with unusual boldness and humorous conduit.

I think i've had enough of Bukowski for a lifetime.
There were a few stories that i found interesting but for every story i liked there were ten unsettling and crude ones. His view of reality is crooked and mostly seen only by his own experiences. He talks how filthy the life and humans are when he's a great example of all that himself. He might seem as a misunderstood or radical writer for his time but honestly i don't find him particularly talented or skilled.

This book isn't his best stuff. His prime writing can be found elsewhere. Yet Notes of a Dirty Old Man is gem for any long time Bukowski reader because he reveals aspects of himself that are missing from his big titles. This collection of writing has a freer vibe and is more experimental. Political, post-modern, queer, themes almost untouched in his massive body of work.
I give this book five stars for its insightful qualities into a writer I thought could no longer surprise me.

Well well, what can one say about the crooked mindset of Bukowski? Not much to be frank. It's a book full of disconnected crazy/dirty stories at first sight, but it's a solid read with his literary qualities and at times witty, at times dry sense of humour. Surely he's been through a lot in life!

I dated this guy Dave when I was living in Berkeley in the 70s. During this time he was a contributor to the Berkeley Barb, and the Barb was always getting free books, some of which he passed on to me. I am not sure if this was one of them, but he gave this book to me to read. (See my review on Nazis and Nudists by David Haldane.)

Bukowksi worked well when given every writers dream: carte blanche to write whatever he felt like writing, only to have it reproduced by the LA FREE PRESS and on the streets in a week, being read by thousands. Bukowski himself writes of the magical feeling of having the freedom to write whatever he wanted and the sudden notoriety he aquired with his new exposure. This collection of stories, as opposed to the ones collected elsewhere, show him still experimenting with a variety of forms and these...more
This is not my favourite of Bukowski's, yet 'classic Bukowski' it was indeed (I missed the old bastard).
I am not one to be easily offended (especially when it comes to the brutally honest, non-romantisized works of Bukowski) yet I found myself gasping in horror at some pretty dark and sometimes misogynistic statements of his. 'Notes of a Dirty Old Man' is definitely not a book for the politically correct.

I really don't get what makes Bukowski so profound. Notes of a Dirty Old Man is the ramblings of a drunk and dirty gambler, always looking for his next drink or screw. Bukowski's writing is called Dirty Realism. That pretty much sums this particular book up. This book is a collection of little snippets of stories, based on Bukowski's life. He has no goals or aspirations. He barely works. The only thing he seems to have going for him is a large penis, but in my opinion, he's so dirty, smelly, and...more

I have always liked Bukowski's poetry because of his style - even in his most disturbing stories, he manages to summarise quite complex feelings into dirty, nasty epigrams. He's good with words and I'm glad that's recognised.
