Sex, Beer & Mail? | Post Office (Charles Bukowski) BOOK REVIEW

About this episode

What's it really like to work in the United States Post Office?

'Post Office' by Charles Bukowski is a fictional yet semi-autobiographical account of Henry Chinaski working as a mailman/clerk in the post office. His life sucks and gets increasingly worse as he deals with frustrating bureaucracy and seeks escape through sex, gambling and alcohol.

Huge thanks to Ashley Glenday for supporting the podcast. Very much appreciated.
