![]() ![]() I felt the book very interesting because, I myself had applied for a postal job. “Postman” is Chinaski’s life-journey in this wretched times. His only interest in life becomes women, (one fifth) whiskey, and racetrack betting. Our miserable anti-hero, end up loathing everyone and everything. He gets himself surrounded by vicious managers and annoying colleagues. For 12 years of his life he is stuck with an absurd, difficult, and low paying job of “Mail-deliveryman” and “Post-office sorter”. Chinaki’s personality, which is sincere, miserable, and aloof is very likeable. The protagonist in “Post Office” is Chinaski, who is considered as Bukowski’s alter-ego. I happened to read a wonderful quote by Bukowski, which eventually lead me to read his quasi-autobiographical novel, “Post Office”. ![]()
