Provenance : previously in the Collection of David Kotthoff, without ownership markings. First, limited edition. Printed in June 1983 by Graham Mackintosh with a design by Barbara Martin, bound by Earle Gray. One of just 376 hardcover copies, hand numbered and signed by both Bukowski and Crumb. This copy no. 346. The American writer Charles Bukowski and the infamous cartoon illustrator Robert Crumb collaborated on two books during the early 1980s. Bring me your Love was the first of these publications, and was followed the following year by There's no Business, which was also published by the Black Sparrow Press in 1984. The present example focuses on a protagonist common to many Bukowski stories - a man named Harry whose wife is in a mental hospital, and who spends his free time drinking and having sex. Crumb's comic and graphic drawings compliment Bukowski's short tale with illustrations showing Gloria punching herself in the face; Harry and Nan 'going good' in the motel room, and the same pair grappling on the floor, semi-clothed, both reaching for the telephone receiver. Crumb and Bukowski later came together for a third and final time in 1998, with a posthumous collection of Bukowski's previously unpublished diaries. "He was a very difficult guy to hang out with in person" Crumb once wrote of Bukowski, "but on paper he was great." Scarce.
