The Dirty Old Man Of American Literature: A Biography of Charles Bukowski, Paperback/Brody Paul

Charles Bukowski didn't write about high society or the life most people will never live; he wrote about the ordinary man--the ones you are more likely to see living next to you than glamorized on TV. He wrote what he knew and he wrote it well. Bukowski knew Los Angeles--women--the drudgery of work--and drinking...lots of drinking This biography takes you inside the life and times of Bukowski, and helps you understand how he composed some of the greatest fiction and poetry of the past 50 years.
