Description

Charles Bukowski's Notes of a Dirty Old Man is a collection of columns that reflect his unique style of gritty realism. Written for an underground LA newspaper, these semi-autobiographical stories offer a glimpse into the lives of America's lowlife and anti-heroes. Bukowski's writing veers between humor and despair as he extols the inherent beauty and futility of life. With a focus on violence, women, gambling, and booze, this collection is not for the faint of heart. Yet, it is in these stories that Bukowski finds a strange kind of beauty. First published in 2008, Notes of a Dirty Old Man showcases Bukowski's prolific writing career, which spanned over forty-five books of poetry and prose.
