ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Post Office by Charles Bukowski plunges into the unconventional life of Henry Chinaski, a man who drifts through years of tedious and often absurd employment at the United States Post Office. The narrative follows his day-to-day struggles as a mail carrier and clerk in Los Angeles, depicting the crushing monotony, the bizarre interactions with colleagues and the public, and the overbearing management. Alongside his postal career, Chinaski navigates fleeting relationships, heavy drinking, and a general disillusionment with societal norms. The novel explores themes of alienation, the drudgery of work, the search for meaning in mundane existence, and the raw realities of human interaction, all delivered with Bukowski's signature cynicism and dark humor.
