Charles Bukowski - American author

I'm depressed and losing my father to cancer. I found the biting cynicism of The Pleasures of the Damned a great comfort the last time I was feeling like this.... I'm wondering which Bukowski novel is most suitable for morose self indulgence?

From what I gather Pulp is relentlessly pessimistic.... that's the kind of thing I looking for. But I've heard mixed reviews.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
