In this new interpretation of the life and work of the American
poet, short-story writer and novelist "Charles Bukowski", David
Stephen Calonne examines Bukowski's writings, colourful life and
the desperate conditions of his lifestyle, looking at the literary
traditions that influenced him and discussing his unique place in
world literature. Bukowski was born in Germany and raised in the
United States, a schism that Calonne shows to be crucial in the
writer's development. From the influence of Germany's literary and
intellectual traditions to the writer's traumatic childhood, this
book explores the effect the writer's hybrid identity had on the
themes and content of his work. Exploring several unknown works of
fiction and poetry created in the early years of his career, the
many volumes of poetry published with Black Sparrow Press, major
works of fiction like "Post Office" and "Factotum", as well as
feature films such as the Mickey Rourke-starring "Barfly", Calonne
catalogues and dissects the many versions of Bukowski created by
the writer and his followers. A concise yet comprehensive new
account, "Charles Bukowski" will interest the wide audience already
familiar with this prolific, influential figure, as well as being
an invaluable introduction to those new to Bukowski's work and who
wish to know more.
