NOTES OF A DIRTY OLD MAN
Notes of a Dirty Old Man is a collection of articles written by Charles Bukowski for the underground, L.A.-based newspaper `Open City`, which operated from 1967 to 1969. Bukowski uses his own life as the basis for his series of articles, and characteristically leaves nothing out.
Perennially drunk, broke and in search of a woman, Bukowski takes on the guise of a wise fool as he ventures through America's seedy lowlife. Peopled by Kerouac, Burroughs and other much less salubrious characters, his exploits provoke humour and despair, whilst highlighting the inherent beauty and futility of life.

`Bukowski writes like a latter-day Celine, a wise fool talking straight from the gut about the futility and beauty of life . . .`
Publishers Weekly
`These disjointed stories gives us a glimpse into the brilliant and highly disturbed mind of a man who will drink anything, hump anything and say anything without the slightest tinge of embarassment, shame or remorse. It's actually pretty hard not to like the guy after reading a few of these semi-ranting short stories.`
