I agree we all have that Bukowski side to us and while I don't think it should be repressed I do think he embraced it in the worst possible way.
I don't think Post Office is intended or held out to be purely autobiographical. I think it's more based on his experiences working at the PO. So I don't view any of the novel as dishonest at all.
