Women (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Women is a 1978 novel written by Charles Bukowski, starring his semi-autobiographical character Henry Chinaski. In contrast to Factotum, Post Office and Ham on Rye, Women is centered around Chinaski's later life, as a celebrated poet and writer, not as a dead-end lowlife. It does however feature the same constant carousel of women with whom Chinaski only finds temporary fulfillment. In the book, Chinaski's nickname is Hank, which was one of Bukowski's nicknames.
One of the women featured in the book is named Lydia Vance; this is Bukowski's portrait of Linda King. Bukowski himself drew the picture of the girl on the cover of the book.
