'Post Office' is a fresh version of the novel, updated by translator Max Nemtsov.

For Henry Chinaski, the author's alter ego, the post office is a hell he's entered of his own free will. And there's no peace in hell: you have to fend off annoying residents waiting for non-existent deliveries, travel miles through unfriendly terrain, listen to complaints, and avoid extra work. There's no escape, and a melancholy crushes you, from which there's no escape—except women and alcohol.

Never before Bukowski's 'Post Office' has the post office seemed such a simultaneously terrifying and alluring place.
