Tales of Ordinary Madness
Tales of Ordinary Madness
By Charles Bukowski
ISBN: 0-87286-155-4
Paperback, 238pp
$14.95



With Bukowski, the votes are still coming in. There seems to be no middle ground-people seem either to love him or hate him. Tales of his own life and doings are as wild and weird as the very stories he writes. In a sense, Bukowski is a legend in his time...a madman, a recluse, a lover... tender, vicious... never the same... these are exceptional stories that come pounding out of his violent and depraved life... horrible and holy, you cannot read them and ever come away the same again.

Bukowski... "a professional disturber of the peace... laureate of the Los Angeles netherworld (writes with) a crazy romantic insistence that losers are less phony than winners, and with an angry compassion for the lost." -Jack Kroll, Newsweek
