Bukowski

PERFORMED BY CHRISTIAN BASKOUS

Opening with the exotic Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Celine, this novel demonstrates Bukowski's own brand of humour and realism, opening up a landscape of seamy Los Angeles.

PULP by Charles Bukowski

PERFORMED BY CHRISTIAN BASKOUS

Low-life writer and unrepentant alcoholic Henry Chinaski was born to survive. After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, blowing his cash on booze and women, and scrimping by in flea-bitten apartments, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at fifty, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life, running three hundred hangovers a year, and maintaining a sex life that would cripple Casanova.

With all of Bukowski's trademark humor and gritty, dark honesty, this 1978 follow-up to Post Office and Factotum is an uncompromising account of life on the edge.

Charles Bukowski reads his "Friendly Advice To A Lot Of Young Men"

Come now, darkness
Why so shy? 
I have blown out 
All lights for you

Come now, silence
Don't be afraid
I have hushed
all the voices 
the would sing you 
I have gathered the stars 
to admire you 
And you don't know 
how far 
we've all travelled 

For you 


Come now, solitude 
Step out tall
You are water 
from the glaciers 
of my mind 
I have long since 
forgotten our quarrel 
and you don't know 
how long 
I have worried 

About you


Come now, empty hands
I understand you now 
I made you reach 
but you don't want 
to hold 
and it's nothing 
that you are ashamed of 
You just don't know 
how relieved 
I am 

To know
