'The best poet in America' Jean Genet

'He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels' Leonard Cohen

The definitive collection from a writer whose transgressive legacy and raw, funny, acutely observant writing has left an enduring mark

Here is Bukowski eating walnuts and scratching his back, rolling a cigarette while listening to Brahms, showering with Linda in the mid-afternoon.

Here is Bukowski knowing that the secret is beyond him, that people who never go crazy live truly horrible lives, that there's a bluebird in his heart that wants to get out.

Here is Bukowski at his most hilarious and heart-breaking, his most raw and profound; here is Bukowski at his best.

Bukowski, an American icon, delves into themes of love, loss, and death with a rawness that is both inspirational and heart-wrenching. His exploration of these subjects, often considered taboo, is a testament to his top-tier writing prowess.

For fans of Ernest Hemingway (A Moveable Feast), Jack Kerouac (Piers of the Homeless Night), Albert Camus (Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays), William Faulkner (The Reivers), and Haruki Murakami (What I Talk About When I Talk About Running).
