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 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Living on Luck is a collection of letters from the 1960s mixed in with poems and drawings. These freewheeling letters chart his leap from the drudgery of the post office into a precarious life at the typewriter. The outspoken author fires off candid notes to publishers and fellow writers between runs at the racetrack and late-night beers. His spirited dispatches mix sharp opinions on contemporary poetry with domestic quarrels and classical symphonies on the radio. The ever clever Charles Bukowski fills the pages with his rough exterior and juicy center. Correspondence and Letters: Unvarnished exchanges with pivotal figures in Bukowski's career, including Black Sparrow Press publisher John Martin, German translator Carl Weissner, and John William Corrington. Raw Honesty: Unsparing appraisals of literary icons and contemporaries, from sharp takedowns of Allen Ginsberg and Robert Frost to enduring debates over Ernest Hemingway. American Literature: Firsthand accounts of the underground small-press movement, detailing chaotic print runs with Loujon Press founders Jon and Louise Webb and the creation of breakthrough novel Post Office. Against the Odds: The gritty reality of surviving as an independent writer, enduring romantic turmoil and financial strain while preserving a gentle devotion to his young daughter Marina. Also by This Author: Essential Bukowski, On Cats and On Writing. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers CIN0876859813VG
