More About This Book

Overview

Charles Bukowski is a legend of modern literature. A heavy-drinking postal clerk from Los Angeles, California, he rose from obscurity to international acclaim as the author of more than forty-five books of poetry and prose that document, with unerring honesty and wit, the underbelly of America. Post Office, Notes of a Dirty Old Man and Ham on Rye are among his most famous works. He also wrote the screenplay for Barfly, a movie based on his life. It was a picaresque life that began in Germany in 1920, and ended in California in 1994. His childhood was desperately unhappy. As a young man he lived as an itinerant drunk, and he worked manual jobs until becoming a full-time writer at the age of forty-nine. In his remaining years, Bukowski emerged as one of the most successful and innovative writers of his day.

Bukowski in Pictures is the first pictorial biography of Bukowski, telling the story of his life with approximately two hundred photographs, both colour and black and white, most of which are published here for the first time. Friends of Bukowski, members of his family, and former lovers have contributed candid photographs. There are powerful new portraits by leading photographers such as Gottfried Helnwein, former Rolling Stone art director Tony Lane, and Andy Warhol's former assistant, Gerard Malanga. Artists Dave Geiser and R. Crumb have provided illustrations. Extracts from personal letters and rare documents offer new insights that delve behind the public personae. Biographer Howard Sounes -- author of Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life -- has edited and introduced Bukowski in Pictures, weaving new research and quotations from Bukowski's work into introductory essays and extensive photo captions. The resulting book is an extraordinary visual document that will fascinate and delight Bukowski fans the world over.
