Description

Henry Chinaski is a lowlife loser with a hand-to-mouth existence. His menial post office day job supports a life of beer, one-night stands and racetracks. Lurid, uncompromising and hilarious, Post Office is a landmark in American literature.


The new edition is augmented with an anecdotal introduction by the modern Welsh cult-literary author Niall Griffiths, a writer who was working in a British post office when he first read Bukowski's Post Office.

Author description

During his lifetime Bukowski published more than forty-five books of poetry and prose including the novels Post Office (1971) and Factotum (1975). He is one of America's most distinctive writers and a voice for both the outsider and lowlife Americana.
