![]() ![]() ![]() But boozing Hank hardly notices through the haze of his hangover and the exhausting drudgery of work. But the book also has a sad undertone, with Hank floating through life and letting good things slip away, such as women who make him happy or time with his baby daughter. POST OFFICE is a funny novel with frequent laugh-out-loud moments. That's Hank Chinaski, the wily but nonchalant protagonist of the hilarious POST OFFICE, who is depressed by (but dependent on) a job in which ".all you moved was your right arm." Remember the smart but passive guy in your high school math class who did no work, attracted a certain kind of girl, always had a little money for beer, skipped school when it suited him, and didn't treat teachers as authority figures? Well, imagine that same guy 30 years later, working in the post office sticking mail. ![]()
