Acerca de esta escucha

"He loads his head full of coal and diamonds shoot out of his finger tips. What a trick. The mole genius has left us with another digest. It's a full house - read 'em and weep." - Tom Waits

Born from Bukowski's columns, the LA underground press of the 1960s, Bukowski defined his early alter ego, Hank Chinaski, as a self-described dirty old man who eyes his defeatist attitude about himself with his clarity to see humor and holiness in others. Addictive and instructive listening, Bukowski delivers the humanity and intelligence of all the unseen. Filled with his usual obsessions - sex, booze, gambling - Notes features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and literature, and his tortured, violent relationships.

"People come to my door - too many of them really - and knock to tell me Notes of a Dirty Old Man turns them on. A bum off the road brings in a gypsy and his wife and we talk...drink half the night. A long distance operator from Newburgh, N.Y. sends me money. She wants me to give up drinking beer and to eat well. I hear from a madman who calls himself 'King Arthur' and lives on Vine Street in Hollywood and wants to help me write my column. A doctor comes to my door: 'I read your column and think I can help you. I used to be a psychiatrist.' I send him away...."

"Bukowski writes like a latter-day Celine, a wise fool talking straight from the gut about the futility and beauty of life...." (Publishers Weekly)

OBIE winner Will Patton (Remember the Titans, The Good Wife, Armageddon) recreates Bukowski in his visceral prime, along with every eye-popping character in his life, each adversary, lover, and stranger in a lost city.

More about the author:

Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for 50 years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was 24, and began writing poetry at the age of 35. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of 73, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Like my Grandfather returned from the grave.


This work is a nostalgic reminder of a time of misogyny that dominated damn near every aspect of society for both men and women and how society was complacent in looking the other way.
I feel not only the reminder of a such a hard upbringing in the hands of men similar as the protagonist/author but, also of a victory of walking through the eye of a needle of such a vile period of time and patriarchy.
We're by far not out of the henhouse yet but, excuse me while I schedule an appointment with my therapist.

Brilliant!

My first Bukowski and I loved it. Will Patton was brilliant. it's probably not for everyone but I strongly recommend it, at least one Bukowski should be on your bucket list.

Loved the reader! He really brought Bukowski to life in my head.

It actually is dirty! But I love the perspective on the world that Bukowski has, and that reverberates in these stories. His life is very different for the way I have lived lived, maybe because I'm not as brave or frozen as he, and there is a sort of importance to knowing about life in the gutter, looking for (not at) the stars.

Post Modern Nior at it's Best

With a plot liking to that of Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, the author takes readers on a sensory roller coaster ride filled with an emaculate literary experience fulfilled by Bill Paxton

Superb reading

The book itself is spectacular, but the reading is definitely what makes this audiobook unique.

Who is Bukowski?

And why is he so famous? I picked up this book to figure out answer to this question. This book helped me to describe...beauty I guess. Maybe that's the reason, because he found beauty in obscenities of his everyday life

10/10

Amazing, Loved it, Will Paton keeps you immersed in the story 10/10. The Bukowski stories are some of the rawest tales I've ever heard.

Real Life

Love Bukowski’s Work. Grit, grime, passion and crime. He takes me his reader on a journey where the reader has never been before — probably.
