His family moved to Los Angeles in 1930(he was born in 1920). The childhood of the writer was far from being happy. In the novel, he tells how his father often insulted and beat him. As a result, he was a withdrawn and uncommunicative child. And in adolescence, acne problems were added to this. In this novel, Bukowski also recounts how his accent was bullied by the children in the neighborhood.
