Summary
A biography on an important American literary icon, Charles Bukowski. This work tells the story of the 'laureate of American low-life'.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Charles Bukowski chronicled the seedy underside of the city in which he spent most of his lifeâLos Angeles. His heroes were the panhandlers and hustlers, the drunks and the hookers, his beat the racetracks and strip joints, and his inspiration a series of dead-end jobs in warehouses, offices, and factories. It was in the evenings that he would put on a classical record, open a beer, and begin to type. Brought up by a violent father, Bukowski suffered childhood beatings before developing horrific acne and withdrawing into a moody adolescence. Much of his young life epitomized the style of the Beat generationâriding Greyhound buses, bumming around, and drinking himself into a stupor. Yet his novels sold millions of copies worldwide in dozens of languages. In this definitive biography Barry Miles, celebrated author of Jack Kerouac: King of the Beats, turns his attention to the exploits of this hard-drinking, belligerent wild man of literature. This is an essential addition to every Bukowski fan's collection.
