The aged writer paints a gruesome sci-fi picture of the current working world: where money, power and sex are steering the vehicle of existence towards a dead end, alongside strokes of suspicion, greed and revenge. ‘Dedicated to Bad Writing’, Bukowski takes you on a fictitious, symbolic, one-last remarkable journey, through the edgy terrains of madness, imagination, sexual fantasies and death. While you might wonder what the “Red Sparrow” is, you’ll find your answer at the end of this book review- analogous to the answer revealed in the ending of ‘Pulp’. Wherein the works of Bukowski have been treated with much controversy and criticism, ‘Pulp’ however is not just the last book he published, but is also one of the finest.īefore I start the review, I’d like to highlight the parallel of “Red Sparrow’s” first appearance and Bukowski’s final farewell. If you are a newcomer to the works of internationally proclaimed American writer, Charles Bukowski- ‘Pulp’ is not the friendliest start. “Well, the rain had stopped, but the pain was still there.” ![]()
