What is the author's style in The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories by Charles Bukowski?

The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Charles Bukowski, many originally published in the underground press between 1967 and 1983. Bukowski almost always writes about his own depraved life of alcohol, sex, and violence shamelessly and with an eye to shock value. As Bukowski attains a following, his works appear in literary magazines, but the raw language and graphic imagery remain full-strength.
