A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

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.

Quatrième de couverture :

'If I had been born a woman I would certainly have been a prostitute. Since I had been born a man, I craved women constantly, the lower the better'

Low life writer and alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. Now, at the age of fifty, he is living the life of a rock star, running three hundred hangovers a year and a sex life that would cripple Casanova. Women is a riotous and uncompromisingly vivid account of life on the edge.

Along with Post Office and Factotum, Women is a classic bestselling novel from Charles Bukowski, widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.

'One of those writers whom each new reader discovers with a transgressive thrill'
New Yorker
