"»You get so alone at Times that it just makes Sense« gehört zu den stärksten Gedichtbänden aus Bukowskis Spätwerk. Eine Hälfte dieses Bandes erschien bereits unter dem Titel »Alle reden zu viel«. Hier nun der zweite Teil: »Roter Mercedes«. Direkt und klar wie eh und je hämmert er seine Verse in die Welt. Aber doch fällt auf, dass ganz andere, neue Themen zur Sprache kommen: Bukowski befasst sich vermehrt mit seinen Ängsten, dem Vergehen der Zeit und dem amerikanischen Albtraum. Ein großartiger Band und erfreulicherweise frei von jeder bürgerlichen Altersmilde." (Verlagstext) Henry Charles Bukowski, Jr. (* 16. August 1920 in Andernach (Deutschland) als Heinrich Karl Bukowski; ? 9. März 1994 in Los Angeles) war ein US-amerikanischer Dichter und Schriftsteller deutscher Abstammung. Er veröffentlichte von 1960 bis zu seinem Tod über vierzig Bücher mit Gedichten und Prosa. Seine Geschichten sind häufig teilautobiografisch, wenngleich meist satirisch überhöht. Oft handelt das Werk von Menschen, die sich auf der Schattenseite des ?American Way of Life? befinden. Seine Protagonisten sind Kleinkriminelle, Alkoholiker, Obdachlose, Prostituierte und er selbst in Form seines literarischen Alter Egos Henry Chinaski (genannt Hank). Häufige Schauplätze sind Rennbahnen, seien es für Pferde- oder für Hunderennen. ?Auf der Basis seiner eigenen Erfahrungen schrieb er in knappem Stil harte, witzige Stories, Romane und Gedichte über das Leben in den Randzonen der bürgerl. amerikan. Gesellschaft. Schockwirkung durch die Darstellung brutaler Gewalt, obszöner Sexualität und des Schmutzes der Gosse.? ? Der Literatur-Brockhaus in acht Bänden Der ?in den USA vielleicht nicht berühmteste, doch in den Buchläden meistgeklaute Autor? Bukowski gilt vielen als Mythos und Kult und war insbesondere in Europa sehr erfolgreich. Allein in Deutschland verkaufte er mehr als 4 Millionen Bücher. Bukowski selbst hat das Bild des saufenden und krakeelenden Genies nach Kräften gefördert. Legendär ist die Lesung in der Hamburger Markthalle am 18. Mai 1978, bei der ein Kühlschrank auf der Bühne stehen musste, damit der Nachschub an wohltemperiertem Müller-Thurgau nicht abriss. Die meisten deutschen Übersetzungen stammen von Carl Weissner, mit dem Bukowski eine enge Freundschaft verband. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 156, (4) pages. 8° (135 x 205mm).

"Bukowskis Gedichtband You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense erschien 1986 in den USA und begründete dort seinen Ruf als Poet des Undergrounds.

A collection of poems exploring the writer's childhood, along with themes of loneliness, consequences, cats, and the tragic state of growing up. Bukowski spent most of his life in Los Angeles, and had already published several short stories in the 1940s before abandoning writing and becoming a full-time destitute alcoholic. After a break of almost 10 years drifting across America, he returned to the city and began writing poetry, with his first publications appearing in the 1950s, beginning with Flower, Fist and Bestial Wail (1959). Volumes of his poetry would continue to appear over the next 40 years on an annual basis, mostly published by underground publishing houses. The Black Sparrow Press was founded in 1966 to promote the work of Avant-Garde artists, writers and poets. Run by John Martin and his wife Barbara, the press was instrumental in supporting Charles Bukowkski throughout his career. It was 1969 when the pair convinced the then 49 year-old writer to give up his post office job to concentrate solely on his writing. "I have one of two choices stay in the post office and go crazy . or stay out here and play at writer and starve. I have decided to starve", Bukowski wrote. After the Martins published his novel Post Office, Bukowkski continued to publish almost all of his major works with them for the remainder of his life, which caused the small press to become a highly successful enterprise. "Lighting new cigarettes, pouring more drinks. It has been a beautiful fight. Still is.". Signed by Author(s).
