About this product

Product Information

More semi-autobiographical short stories from cult writer Charles Bukowski Inspired by D.H. Lawrence, Chekhov and Hemingway, Bukowski's writing is passionate, extreme and has attracted a cult following, while his life was as weird and wild as the tales he wrote. This collection of short stories gives an insight into the dark, dangerous lowlife of Los Angeles that Bukowski inhabited. From prostitutes to classical music, Bukowski ingeniously mixes high and low culture in his 'tales of ordinary madness'. These are angry yet tender, humorous and haunting portrayals of life in the underbelly of Los Angeles.

  • Down but not out in the land of the free

    Bukowski writes his life as it happens to him. And along the way he shares his thoughts on the people he meets and the society around him. This collection of stories and essays is not for the faint hearted or squeamish, it's brutal, honest and life in the land of opportunity observed from the wrong side of the tracks
