Women (novel)
''Women'' is a 1978 novel written by Charles Bukowski, starring his semi-autobiographical character Henry Chinaski. In contrast to ''Factotum'', ''Post Office'' and ''Ham on Rye'', ''Women'' is centered on Chinaski's later life, as a celebrated poet and writer, not as a dead-end lowlife. It does, however, feature the same constant carousel of women with whom Chinaski only finds temporary fulfillment.
==Plot==
''Women'' focuses on the many dissatisfactions Chinaski faced with each new woman he encountered. One of the women featured in the book is a character named Lydia Vance; she is based on Bukowski's one-time girlfriend, the sculptress and sometime poet Linda King. Another central female character in the book is named "Tanya" who is described as a 'tiny girl-child' and Chinaski's pen-pal. They have a weekend tryst. The real-life counterpart to this character wrote a self-published chapbook about the affair entitled "Blowing My Hero" under the pseudonym Amber O'Neil.〔Howard Sounes, ''Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life'', Grove Press, 1998, p. 275.〕 The washed-up folksinger "Dinky Summers" is based on Bob Lind.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bohemianlit.com/charkey.htm )〕
In the book, Chinaski's nickname is Hank, which was one of Bukowski's nicknames.
