Mesmerizing, boldly honest and brutal masterpiece.

A magnificent achievement! Oddly touching psychology and searing brutality work together to create a portrait of a man who for all mankind represents how multifaceted we can become in the face of wide ranging experience. Made me hungry to experience new and exotic emotions and experiences. An eternal masterpiece which demands re-reading.


Excellent

Great read for a sophisticated adult. Similar to Charles Bukowski. Ignore rube reviews.

A Masterpiece

Kosinski, or the Kosinski committee or whatever it was (Paul Auster is one of many who claim to have been paid to 'fix up' his early drafts), wrote some psychologically fascinating and beautifully written stuff (The Painted Bird, Steps, and to a lesser extent, Cockpit and The Devil Tree) and some really bad stuff (Pinball, The Hermit of Whatever-it-was-th Street). This is probably the best of them all. Buy it.
