Download More Notes of a Dirty Old Man: The Uncollected Columns AudioBook Free
"He lots his head packed with coal and diamonds shoot out of his finger tips. What a technique. The mole genius has left us with another digest. It's a complete house - read 'em and weep." - Tom Waits After toiling in obscurity for a long time, Charles Bukowski all of a sudden found popularity in 1967 with his autobiographical publication column, "Notes of your Dirty Old Man", and a e book of that name in 1969. He prolonged writing this column, in one form or another, through the mid-1980s. More Records of your Dirty Old Man gathers many uncollected gems from the column's 20-year run. Filled with his usual obsessions - gender, booze, gambling - More features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and books, his tortured, violent romantic relationships with women, and his lurid escapades on the poetry reading circuit. Highlighting his flexibility, the book amounts from thinly-veiled autobiography to simply fictional tales of dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians, and down-and-out sports activities promoters - climaxing with an extended, hilarious excitement among French filmmakers, to "MY PAL the Gambler", based on his experience making the movie Barfly. From his lowly times at the post office through his later literary popularity, More follows the entire arc of Bukowski's bright colored career. OBIE victor Will Patton (Remember the Titans, The Good Partner, Armageddon) recreates Bukowski in his visceral best, along with every eye-popping identity in his life, each adversary, fan, and stranger in a lost city. More about the writer: Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known modern day authors of poetry and prose, and, many would state, its most important and imitated poet. He was created in Andernach, Germany and brought up in LA, where he lived for 50 years. He printed his first story in 1944, when he was 24, and started out writing poetry at age 35. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at age 73, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
