"What I am telling you, before you begin my story, is this -- two things: I crave truth. And I lie."
Charles Bukowski
1920 – 1994
Henry Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles. Bukowski's work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work.
"I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of."
