On Writing

Charles Bukowski was one of America's most iconoclastic, raw and riveting writers, one whose stories, poems and novels left an enduring mark on its culture. This title collects Bukowski's reflections and ruminations on the craft he dedicated his life to. Piercing, unsentimental and often hilarious, it is filled not only with memorable lines but also with his trademark toughness, leavened with moments of grace, pathos and intimacy.
