The definitive collection of works on a subject that inspired and haunted Charles Bukowski for his entire life: alcohol Charles Bukowski turns to the bottle in this revelatory collection of poetry and prose that includes some of the writers best and most lasting work. A self-proclaimed dirty old man, Bukowski used alcohol as muse and as fuel, a conflicted relationship responsible for some of his darkest moments as well as some of his most joyful and inspired. In On Drinking, Bukowski expert Abel Debritto has collected the writers most profound, funny, and memorable work on his ups and downs with the hard stuffa topic that allowed Bukowski to explore some of lifes most pressing questions. Through drink, Bukowski is able to be alone, to be with people, to be a poet, a lover, and a friendthough often at great cost. As Bukowski writes in a poem simply titled Drinking, : for me/it was or/is/a manner of/dying/with boots on/and gun/smoking and a/symphony music background. On Drinking is a powerful testament to the pleasures and miseries of a life in drink, and a window into the soul of one of our most beloved and enduring writers.
