Résumé

"Wordsworth, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and the Beats in their respective generations moved poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little farther." -Los Angeles Times Book ReviewA collection of five of Charles Bukowski's most popular works, including:Pulp: Opening with Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Celine, this novel demonstrates Bukowski's own brand of humor. Barfly: The screenplay of the 1987 movie. Ham on Rye: Charles Bukowski details the long, lonely years of his own hardscrabble youth in the raw voice of alter ego Henry Chinaski. Post Office: "It began as a mistake." By middle age, Henry Chinaski has lost more than twelve years of his life to the U. S. Postal Service. Women: After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at fifty, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life.
