Charles Bukowski Selected Letters Volume One by C Bukowski

The 1960's saw Charles Bukowski struggle for recognition and slowly emerge as a unique, talented and prolific poet and writer, whilst holding down a day job at the Post Office. These letters to various friends, lovers and literary contacts provide an intimate and fascinating look at Bukowski's mind, his emotions, his attitude towards his own creativity and the comings and goings of his daily life.
Bukowski carved out a unique position in American lettersHe was a cult figure who disdained movements and followers, a working class autodidact who dared to take himself seriously as a writer but who couldn't stop mocking himself as a subject. New York Times Book Review
Charles Bukowski was one of America's best-known writers and one of its most influential and imitated poets. His writing reflects his slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of life as a struggling writer in low-life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.
