This book gets the Pabst Blue Ribbon!

This book hit me deeply with its honesty. In Forty Ouncer, Kurt lays bare his life in raw, true as life detail. He shows you where he's been like relaying a story in each scar on his body, giving glimpses to the ones on the inside - the invisible barbs of memory of dysfunctional families, soul-sucking low paying jobs, punk rock fist fights and relationships gone sour - all seen through the bottom of a forty ouncer. In between are stories like "Beer" and "The Paradise Lounge" which left me howling with laughter. The story "The Hate Man" left me wandering around town, thinking, eyeing the street people in a new way, wondering about the secrets they keep. If you dig Bukowski and real-life writing that hits hard where it counts, you'll love Forty Ouncer. Highly recommended.
