Book by BUKOWSKI Charles

A propos du livre

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

Biographie de l'auteur :

Charles Bukowsk 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 three. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944 when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
