Klappentext zu „On Writing “
Charles Bukowki's stories, poems, and novels have left an enduring mark on our culture. In this collection of previously unpublished material?letters to publishers, editors, friends, and fellow writers?Bukowski shares his insights on the art of creation. On Writing reveals an artist brutally frank about the drudgery of work, and canny and uncompromising about the absurdities of life?and of art. It illuminates the hard-edged, complex humanity of a true American legend and countercultural icon?the ?laureate of American lowlife? (Time)?who stoically recorded society's downtrodden and depraved. It exposes an artist grounded in the visceral, whose work reverberates with his central ideal: ?Don't try.? Piercing, poignant, and often hilarious, On Writing is filled not only with memorable lines but also with Bukowski's trademark toughness, levened with moments of grace, pathos, and intimacy.
