Synopsis

In The Last Night of the Earth Poems, Charles Bukowski reckons with writing, death and immortality, literature, city life, illness, war, and the past. The final book of pooems published during his lifetime, these verses are raw and unflinching in classic Bukowski style.

Step into the smoky bars, the dim flophouses, and the racetracks where Bukowski's words come alive. This collection is not for the faint of heart but for those who crave the grit and truth of a life lived on the edge. Bukowski's final words will leave you raw, reflective, and reaching for another drink.

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author

“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter

A propos du livre

À propos 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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture
