from the shelves of L.A. Nocturne
Charles Bukowski

CHARLES BUKOWSKI

Bukowski was a tremendously prolific author, poet, and letter writer, and many of his pieces are Los Angeles based. Most of his works are thinly veiled autobiographies, though when questioned about that fact, he would respond "No, I write fiction . Which is reality improved upon." You'll either love him or hate him; consider him a master or a rambling drunk. But you'll never be bored.

We can't possibly list everything here, so we're picking some of our favorites.
