What are the motifs in The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories by Charles Bukowski?

The establishment is a recurring theme or motif in the book. Charles Bukowski and his various alter egos and associates are not fans of the Establishment. Most often he encounters it in the person of police officers summoned by landlords fed up with him and his lovers making too much noise. Bukowski enjoys playing games with them, warning them of the danger of false arrest and suggesting that his lawyer has gotten him released from serious criminal charges.
