Pulp

Pulp — the last novel by Bukowski, his swan song — is simply contraindicated for readers without a sense of humor! It is indeed a special kind of satire dedicated to bad literature. The plot of the book is devoid... of dynamics, devoid of intrigue, devoid of everything, but precisely for that reason it is infinitely brilliant. The main virtue of the novel — is the narrative style. Descriptions and dialogues are overflowing with an atmosphere of filth, violence, and fear. At the same time, Bukowski parodies genuine pulp fiction with every sentence. And although the author's style is extremely simplified — it is worth noting the stunning sense of humor that will undoubtedly appeal to readers who possess it.
