"Love is a puppy From Hell captures Bukowski's substantial expertise for shooting a temper and throwing the reader into his international. this can be an outstanding variation of contemporary poetry that completely captures the degenerated angst of the interval. what's relatively notable here's Bukowski's acute wisdom of the decay that surrounds him."

"Take off the rose-colored glasses...return your seats to their upright position...place your head among your knees and get ready for a crash touchdown. Don't get me fallacious: this e-book isn't a diatribe condemning love. We've all learn and enjoyed our Byron, yet now it's time to step during the having a look glass, youngsters. Love might "walk in attractiveness just like the night" yet, "Love, Bukowski Style"...asks you to recollect that "the night" isn't the simplest venue for readability of imaginative and prescient. Bukowski speaks to that different facet of love...vitriolic, soul-destroying, perverted, barbaric and insane. All, who've ever enjoyed, will locate the phrases for his or her feelings...the emotions for his or her loss of words... in Bukowski's auto-Eros-dissection. Why may I recommend you learn this quantity of poetry? Why could an individual are looking to topic themself to such unpleasantries? what sort of sadist am I, that i might ask you to intentionally topic your self to the ache of affection? to grasp love, is to understand the soreness of affection. but for the entire discomfort inherent in love, we search love repeatedly. not anything workouts our presents of wish and religion extra strenuously. Love could be a "dog from hell" to Bukowski, yet he's nonetheless not able to conceal his wish, his desire and his desire for extra love. Bukowski - alcoholic, misanthrope, barbarian, gutter rat - who writes of affection and will nonetheless say..."It softens a man."
