Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Charles Bukowski is one of America’s best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.
The second of five new books of unpublished poems from the late, great, Charles Bukowski, America's most imitated and influential poet –– 143 never–before–seen works of gritty, amusing, and inspiring verse.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Racetrack bets, hospital wards, and nine unruly cats: Charles Bukowski faces the final stretch with unsparing wit and stubborn vitality. The volume charts his daily rounds from Hollywood Park betting windows to chemotherapy wards, confronting aging with blunt, mordant candor. Bukowski balances rowdy memories of factory assembly lines against quiet midnight hours at the typewriter, listening to Mahler in the dark. These late poems deliver an unvarnished record of survival, pairing sardonic humor with sudden flashes of lyric grace. The second of five new books of unpublished poems from the late, great, Charles Bukowski, America's most imitated and influential poet -- 143 never-before-seen works of gritty, amusing, and inspiring verse. Poetry Collection: Bukowski trades banter with a wooden gargoyle on his writing desk, reflecting on sixty-five years of survival and the nightly noise of the harbor. Raw Honesty: Candid verses revisit his Depression-era youth in Los Angeles, where neighborhood rivalries sparked a lifelong obsession with fighter ace Manfred von Richthofen. Literary Collection: Sharp vignettes skew university professors with pipe-smoking airs alongside racetrack strangers who mistake him for an ex-prizefighter or a Saratoga hot walker. American Poetry: Unsentimental hospital sketches capture the absurdity of cancer treatment, from early-morning battles with a clumsy beam scale to prisoners chained to nearby beds. Also by This Author: You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense, Love is a Dog From Hell and The Last Night of the Earth Poems. N° de réf. du vendeur 00090050109
