Notes on a Dirty Old Man - Charles Bukowski von A bis Z
by Frank Schäfer
Description
Drunkard, poet, redneck. Especially with his column »Notes of a Dirty Old Man« Charles Bukowski cultivated his image as an underdog from the underground. Frank Schäfer draws a different picture. His Bukowski can’t be compared with the American Dream or the Sixty-eight is countering the promise of salvation, scornfully registered by the establishment of the literary establishment, with the sound of his typewriter.
Schäfer’s »Notes on a Dirty Old Man« result in a narrative, to a certain extent unlexicographic encyclopaedia, a personal Bukowskipedia, well-founded and stirring at the same time.
