Such is the author's literary standing & cult status I almost felt obliged to enjoy this book & rate it highly, but I needn't have worried because after reading this novel I now find myself in complete agreement with the fulsome praise I've seen elsewhere. For me Bukowski's lauded originality is in describing the dull, repetitive, unskilled labour of a mail worker's life yet managing to fill it with hilarious irreverence as well as with the profound pathos of life.5/5
