	Charles Bukowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bukowski was a born in Andernach, Germany in 1920.
		During Bukowski's childhood, his father was often unemployed, and according to Bukowski, verbally and physically abusive (as detailed in his novel, Ham on Rye).
		In 1964, a daughter, Marina Louise Bukowski, was born to Bukowski and Frances Smith.

	An Introduction to Charles Bukowski, by Jay Dougherty
		Bukowski's father was apparently fairly fluent in German, but the couple returned to the United States at the end of the father's term in Germany, seeing in the U.S. the possibility of a brighter future.
		Bukowski's father, like many other fathers at the time, was more often than not unemployed, and no doubt much of the frustration of that experience was taken out on Charles.
		Bukowski has often said, as he did in a South Bay interview of 1981, that "Genius is the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way" (33).

	Salon Books \| "Charles Bukowski"
		Disheveled, degenerate and, more often than not, drunk, Bukowski was the human embodiment of a raised middle finger, a lowlife nihilist who laid bare the most perilous of human truths by laying bare his own perilous truths.
		Bukowski's life, after all, was a gossip-monger's dream, a salacious string of rants and raves in which movie stars, skid-row drunks, famous poets and violent women moved about freely.
		Bukowski turns 40 on Page 46, which means that each of the bard's first four decades is allotted roughly 11 and a half pages.

		Bukowski's signature themes are also present: the racetrack, drinking, violence, women, sex and, of course, writing.
		Bukowski is eerily calm reading this, and the stories, such as Emily Bikowski, about his first memory and his relationships with his family touch the heart, especially the ones anout his father because, like mine, his father is military, and thinks in a way that is almost the complete opposite of Hank.
		Bukowski has a way of telling you the story that, although seeming very ordinary, gives you a feeling that he is showing you little bits of his insides.

	Biography for Charles Bukowski (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		With Raymond Chandler, Bukowski is the great chronicler of the City of Angels, and after John Steinbeck and Robinson Jeffers, who influenced Bukowski's poetry, he arguably is the most important and certainly one of the most influential writers produced by the Golden state.
		Bukowski developed into one of the most original and influential poets of the post-War era, though he was never anthologized in the United States (though those that were influenced by him were).
		Bukowski's success as a writer in the 1970s can be attributed to the patronage of John Martin, a book collector and chap book publisher who offered to subsidize Bukowski to the tune of $100 a month for life.

		Los Angeles poet and fiction writer Charles Bukowski, who died of leukemia on March 9 at the age of 73, managed to create a life worthy of his face.
		Bukowski went by the alias of Henry Chinaski in his fiction and by his own name in his poetry, but the boorish, half-endearing underdog persona never changed.
		Bukowski said: "The first thing writing must do is save your own ass." And so it did, for longer than he imagined it could.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Books
		Bukowski’s books make up a burly phalanx, with their stark covers and long, lurid titles: “Love Is a Dog from Hell”; “Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit.” They give the impression of an aloof, possibly belligerent empire in the middle of the republic of letters.
		Bukowski’s poems are best appreciated not as individual verbal artifacts but as ongoing installments in the tale of his true adventures, like a comic book or a movie serial.
		Yet Bukowski also admitted, on other occasions, to having been a very bookish youth: “Between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four I must have read a whole library.” In his letters (four volumes of which have been published so far), he shows that he is conversant with the entire range of modern fiction and poetry.

		The son of immigrants, Bukowski was born in Germany in 1920 and moved with his parents to the U.S. shortly afterward.
		After penning several prose and poetry publications, Bukowski began producing a weekly column in the late ‘60s; "Notes of a Dirty Old Man," which appeared in the alternative newspaper Open City, gave him a wide readership and fanned the flames of an already considerable underground reputation.

		With his fourth novel, legendary barfly Charles Bukowski follows the path of his alter ego Henry Chinaski through the high school years of acne and rejection, drinking his way through the Depression, and ends at the start of World War 2.
		The only Bukowski I'd read previously was Post Office, which is a bare-bones story about a man whose life is swallowed by his job at the Post Office, years passing by, and his struggle to basically try and retain something of himself (be it a woman, his drinking, his gambling - anything).
		I have seen some of Bukowski's short stories, and it cannot be said that they do reflect upon his life as well as his novels, yet he must be admired for simply sticking to a most individual style, both in literature and, seemingly, in life.

	Charles Bukowski's Barfly: The Dignity and Depravity of Emotion
		Taken from one of the few interviews of length that Charles Bukowski ever gave, this quotation underscores one of the primary paradoxes of his ideology: a simultaneous repugnance toward and attraction to the characters that populate his work.
		Bukowski illustrates this vision primarily through Henry Chinaski's two relationships with women in the play, the first with Wanda, a woman of his own "class," and the second with Tully, a well to do editor from The Contemporary Review of Art, Music, and Literature.
		Bukowski documents Henry's disappointment over the incident in two scenes, one of which is practically devoid of spoken words and one of which is the night after confrontation with Wanda.

		Yes, finally the reader will be left to ponder the most basic questions of poetic principle (Bukowski doesn't care), artistic decorum (this poetry is not for the kids), and existence (who is this beer-swilling, tough-talking, death-obsessed writer, and why does one get the impression that his eyes might dance behind the persona he presents?).
		Bukowski cultivated his obvious links to both eras--the flness and despair of the 1950s with the rebellious cry of the 1960s for freedom.
		This is evident in collections of Bukowski's poetry from the beginning of his career to the present; he is defiantly consistent, and if the reader is prepared to accept these limitations of purpose, then Bukowski is consistently successful.
