No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Charles Bukowski tells us of the coming of age of Henry Chinaski in this thinly veiled autobiography. Seen through the eyes of this angry teen, we hear about his difficult relationship with his parents. His abusive father would beat him with his razor if the lawn wasn't maintained to perfection. Henry also had the worst case of acne that his doctors had ever seen. Experimentally, the doctors would puncture each pimple or have him sit under ultra- violet lights for long periods of time. Add the typical dilemmas that a high school boy encounters and it is no surprise that Henry acts out in the way that he does.
Rebelling, Henry turns to alcohol and violence. Anyone that attempts to come close to him is violently shoved away.
Although Henry is an abrasive character, Bukowski gives the reader glimpses into the psychology behind his behavior. You alternate between hating him for being such an arrogant jerk and pitying him when we see moments of who he might of been. (Like when he rescued the cat from a group of kids).
