Synopsis
Beginning in 1967, Bukowski wrote the column "Notes of A Dirty Old Man" for the underground newspaper Open City. Perennially drunk, broke and in search of a woman, Bukowski takes on the guise of a wise fool as he ventures through America's seedy lowlife. Peopled by Kerouac, Burroughs and other much less salubrious characters, his exploits provoke humour and despair, whilst highlighting the inherent beauty and futility of life.

From the Back Cover
Charles Bukowski was one of America s best-known writers and a prominent figure of the influential Beat Generation, with a personal life as colourful as any of his stories. His vivid, uncompromising depiction of the underworld of Los Angeles has achieved cult status as the ultimate in realist writing.
This collection of Bukowski s columns for an underground LA newspaper epitomises his style of gritty realism. Writing as himself, or his alter-ego Henry Chinaski, Bukowski delves into America s lowlife to eulogise life s losers and antiheroes. Packed with violence, women, gambling and booze, Bukowski s semi-autobiographical stories veer between hilarity and despair, as he extols the inherent beauty and futility of life.
Charles Bukowski was one of America s best-known and most prolific writers. During his lifetime he published more than forty-five books of poetry and prose including the novels Post Office (1971), Factotum (1975) and Pulp (1994), all available from Virgin Books.
