About Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. He became closely associated with Los Angeles, the city he made his home, and his work reflects that setting and its pressures.

He wrote with direct attention to everyday hardship and the conditions that shaped it.
