A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'Amazing, hilarious and unfalteringly entertaining'
Sunday Times

Henry Chinaski is a low life loser with a hand-to-mouth existence. His menial Post Office day job supports a life of beer, one-night stands and racetracks. Lurid, uncompromising and hilarious, Post Office is a landmark in American literature.

Post Office was Charles Bukowski's debut novel, and has sold over a million copies in more than a dozen languages since its first publication in 1971. Bukowski's Beat Generation writing reflects his tough upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of low life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.

'A laureate of American low life' Time

'Cunning, relentlessly jokey and sad' Observer

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Henry Chinaski is a lowlife loser with a hand-to-mouth existence. His menial post office day job supports a life of beer, one-night stands and racetracks. Lurid, uncompromising and hilarious, Post Office is a landmark in American literature, and over 1 million copies have been sold worldwide.

The new edition is augmented with an anecdotal introduction by the modern Welsh cult-literary author, Niall Griffiths - a writer who was working in a British post office when he first read Bukowski's Post Office.
