Почтамт. Женщины. Макулатура
Чарльз Буковски (1920—1994) — культовая фигура американской литературы, в чьем творчестве отразилась целая эпоха. Автор более сорока книг, среди которых романы, стихи, эссеистика и рассказы.
Буковски — сторонник гиперреализма, эстетики грубой и даже агрессивной честности. Мощь его влияния на американскую культуру можно сравнить разве что с преклонением перед Хемингуэем. Его творчество предельно автобиографично, и главный герой Генри Чинаски, по сути, является альтер-эго писателя. Это и объединяет романы, вошедшие в данный сборник: "Почтампт", "Женщины", "Макулатура", "Макулатура" — финальный роман Буковски. Это его фантастическая пародия на детектив, умная и изобретательная с традиционными приключениями на дне жизни.
Манера письма и сама личность маргинала Буковски — алкоголика и скандалиста — могут кого-то оттолкнуть... Но под напускным цинизмом, страстью к физиологическим подробностям и нецензурной лексикой скрывается нежная душа, способная глубоко чувствовать и сопереживать всему человечеству.

854 books29.9k followersHenry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books
Charles Bukowski was the only child of an American soldier and a German mother. At the age of three, he came with his family to the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Los Angeles City College from 1939 to 1941, then left school and moved to New York City to become a writer. His lack of publishing success at this time caused him to give up writing in 1946 and spurred a ten-year stint of heavy drinking. After he developed a bleeding ulcer, he decided to take up writing again. He worked a wide range of jobs to support his writing, including dishwasher, truck driver and loader, mail carrier, guard, gas station attendant, stock boy, warehouse worker, shipping clerk, post office clerk, parking lot attendant, Red Cross orderly, and elevator operator. He also worked in a dog biscuit factory, a slaughterhouse, a cake and cookie factory, and he hung posters in New York City subways.
Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including Pulp (1994), Screams from the Balcony (1993), and The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992).
He died of leukemia in San Pedro on March 9, 1994.

У Буковского лучше получается описывать свою жизнь, чем чужую.

Эксмо ебанулось уже чуть более чем наполовину. Библиотека смишнова йумора, в которой они издавали Хэнка, была еще куда ни шло, а тут обложка от самого Огюста, блядь, Ренуара. Не хухры-мухры.
