Brutal. High points for low lives. Trades and tricks tickling at the underbelly of Los Angeles.

Primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se… Usando um cliché, algo tão pouco digno (mesmo se apropriado) para uma obra destas. Assim é a escrita de Bukowski em ‘Tales of Ordinary Madness’. Primeiro um WTF e, depois, um UAU. Aprofundando… Este é um conjunto de contos cujos temas passam pelas banalidades da vida quotidiana. Um escritor, um jogador inveterado, um alcoólico, um poeta, um inconformista, um frustrado, um verdadeiro proscrito da sociedade… ou vários. As suas acções, os comportamentos, pensamentos e atitudes. Cada personagem, cada vislumbre de humanidade, cada banalidade, cada acto corriqueiro transforma-se numa história. Cenas cuja autenticidade as eleva a algo mais, retratam uma realidade decepcionante, são verdadeiros exemplos da mentalidade humana.(...) “children’s games, that’s all people play: children’s games – they go from the cunt to the grave without ever being touched by the horror of life.” Charles Bukowski ‘Tales of Ordinary Madness’ Ver Opinião completa aqui: http://sarinhafarinha.wordpress.com/2...

The human race had always disgusted me. Essentially, what made them disgusting was the family- relationship illness, which included marriage, exchange of power and aid, which like a sore, a leprosy, became then: your next door neighbor, your neighborhood, your district, your city, your family your county, your state, your nation... everybody grabbing each other's assholes in the honeycomb of survival out of a fear- animalistic stupidity. […] Back to the family - if the Dodgers won, they won. If a man landed on the moon, they landed on the moon. But let a starving man ask them for a dime - no identification, fuck you, shithead. I mean, when they were in civvies. There hasn't been a starving man yet who ever asked a cop for a dime. Our record is clear.
