It doesn’t get much better than Bukowski for lowly, drunk, aspiring-vagabonds like myself …
One of my favorite authors

AMAZING. gives a real perspective of what’s like to love in the Great Depression while trying to be a normal kid.
Bukowski Tells His Childhood
5
By E.P. Anderson
Like J.D. Salinger's perverted brother, Bukowski tells the thinly-veiled story of his own childhood in LA during the Great Depression. Everything is different through the eyes of Charles Bukowski, yet everyone can relate to the primal feelings of uncertainty and anger in an unforgiving world. This is a must-read for anyone who has grown up in America and realized, when they look back on their life as a kid, the absurdity of it all.
Not what I expected but love it

I don't usually read books like this but someone recommended it to me and I really enjoyed it a lot. Not what I expected at all.
This is a required read for anyone who wants to know more about Charles Bukowski

This is an incredible read from a man who spoke about truth, beauty, and the American life. Charles Bukowski should never have been ignored by New York literary critics. Particularly the New Yorker.
Great author!

If you like Celine, you'll like Bukowski. He's one of the best poets and authors of the twentieth century.
