Description

Charles Bukowski's profound and often humorous writings about his relationship with alcohol are collected in this powerful testament to the pleasures and miseries of a life in drink. Through poetry and prose, Bukowski explores the ways in which drinking allowed him to be alone, to connect with others, and to express himself as a poet, lover, and friend. Bukowski's conflicted feelings towards alcohol are on full display in this collection, which offers a unique glimpse into the soul of one of America's most beloved writers. With characteristic candour and wit, Bukowski grapples with the darker aspects of his addiction, even as he celebrates its liberating power. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the life and work of Charles Bukowski, On Drinking is a compelling and thought-provoking collection that will resonate with readers long after they finish reading.
