Description

Surfacing from the literary underground, Bukowski’s wild and immortal stories have become cult favourites. This collection of anecdotal short stories demonstrates Bukowski’s compelling semi-autobiographical style and his mastery of visceral language and the depiction of seamy underworlds. Focusing on themes that recur throughout his work, from Los Angeles and bar culture to alcoholism, gambling, sex and violence, these pieces also introduce unexpected elements of fantasy and surrealism.
