![]() The latter, down and out literature, I first came across when I read several of George Orwell’s works, which dealt with poverty and social and economic injustice – a sad situation which hasn’t advanced a great deal since Orwell’s day. The former sprung forth through the likes of Thomas De Quincey in the 19th century, who candidly discussed his addiction to opium. ![]() Charles Bukowski’s Post Office (1971) isn’t quite in the same league there, but what it does represent is a fine instalment in addiction, and down and out, literature, as well as something genuinely funny to read. Right, my last three reviews have encompassed a lot of serious philosophising and whatnot. ![]()
