Bukowski rails against – among other things - the tedium of mindless work, the relentless commercialization of society and how man is “slugged with ready-made commercial contrivances until he becomes another faceless and unfeeling creature.” He decries how people are isolated from one another, but also claims to not like other people all that much. “The best people are the ones you never meet.”
Some other notable quotes:
“There are so many stupid things to do that there isn’t any time left to do anything that isn’t stupid.”
“It’s best to screw in the dark if you can’t go grade A.” ( )
