About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a unique look at the phenomenon of Charles Bukowski, the battered and scarred postal clerk, odd-jobs man, and lowly factotum who became the best-known "underground" writer in the English language. His work—raw, crude, heartbreaking, and hilarious—has inspired imitators, emulators, sycophants, and detractors. This book chronicles the man, the myth, and his work.
