Description:
It began as a mistake.
By middle age, Henry Chinaski has lost more than twelve years of his life to
the U.S. Postal Service. In a world where his three true, bitter pleasures are
women, booze, and race-track betting, he somehow drags his hangover out of bed
every dawn to lug waterlogged mailbags up mud-soaked mountains, outsmart
vicious guard dogs, and pray to survive the day-to-day trials of sadistic
bosses and certifiable coworkers. This classic 1971 novel – the one that
catapulted its author to national fame – is the perfect introduction to the
grimly hysterical world of legendary writer, poet, and Dirty Old Man Charles
Bukowski and his fictional alter ego, Chinaski.
“Wordsworth, Whitman,
William Carlos Williams, and the Beats in their respective generations moved
poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little farther.” – Los
Angeles Times Book Review.
Charles
Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and
prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was
born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty
years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began
writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on
March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last
novel, Pulp (1994).
