From the self-illustrated, unpublished work written in 1947 to
hardboiled contributions to 1980s adult magazines, The Bells Tolls
for No One presents the entire range of Bukowski's talent as a
short story writer, from straight-up genre stories to postmodern
blurring of fact and fiction. An informative introduction by editor
David Stephen Calonne provides historical context for these
seemingly scandalous and chaotic tales, revealing the hidden hand
of the master at the top of his form. "The uncollected gutbucket
ramblings of the grand dirty old man of Los Angeles letters have
been gathered in this characteristically filthy, funny compilation
...Bukowkski's gift was a sense for the raunchy absurdity of life,
his writing a grumble that might turn into a belly laugh or a
racking cough but that always throbbed with vital energy."--Kirkus
Reviews Born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles,
Charles Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four
and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book
of poetry was published in 1959; he would eventually publish more
than forty-five books of poetry and prose. He died of leukemia in
San Pedro, California on March 9, 1994. David Stephen Calonne is
the author of several books and has edited three previous
collections of the uncollected work of Charles Bukowski for City
Lights: Absence of the Hero, Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook,
and More Notes of a Dirty Old Man.
