Recommended reading - Pulp (1994):

Pulp

By Charles Bukowski.

Published by Ecco.

Published in 1994.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 9780876859261

ISBN-13: 978-0876859261

Description:

“Poet laureate of the down-and-out.” – LA Times.

Opening with the exotic Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Cèline, this novel demonstrates Charles Bukowski's own brand of humor and realism, opening up a landscape of seamy Los Angeles.

Pulp is essential fiction from Buk himself.

Nicky Belane, private detective and career alcoholic, is a troubled man. He is plagued not just by broads, booze, lack of cash and a raging ego, but also by the surreal jobs he’s hired to do. Not only does he have to track down French classical author Cèline – who’s meant to be dead – but he also supposed to find the elusive Red Sparrow – which may or may not be real.

Pulp is Charles Bukowski’s brilliant, fantastical pastiche of a detective story.

Packed with wit, invention and Bukowski’s trademark lowlife adventures, it is the final novel by one of the most enjoyable and influential cult writers of the last century.
