Original carbon typescript on four leaves of white bond (measuring 8.5" x 11"), bearing the author's holograph corrections, revisions, and elisions, on each page in blue pen, signed "Charles Bukowski" on the terminal leaf and dated 3-30-75. Mild handling, tiny staple holes at upper left corners, subtle toning to edges of p.3, and a few small stains to the lower right margins.Complete corrected draft of this Notes of a Dirty Old Man story, which first appeared in the April 17, 1975 issue of the Los Angeles Free Press (No.560). The story is titled "H.P., New Jersey, April 3, 1975," and written in the format of a "Hello Mom" letter from her college-aged son, who is living in a roominghouse in New Jersey, surrounded by a real cast of characters and getting into no shortage of trouble. A humorous and lightly raunchy story, lacking the overtly perverse content of some of his stories submitted to High Times, Oui, and Hustler. While the strength of Bukowski's literary legacy rests squarely on his poetry and prose, no small degree of his notoriety as a hard-living, hard-drinking author was due to his many Notes of a Dirty Old Man columns, printed over many years in papers like Open City and L.A. Free Press. Complete stories seldom come onto the market. See Debritto B944.
