About Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer known for his raw, unflinching depictions of life on the fringes of society. Born on August 16, 1920, in Andernach, Germany, and later moving to Los Angeles, Bukowski's work often drew from his experiences with poverty, alcoholism, and relationships, earning him a cult following and critical acclaim. His most notable works include "Post Office," "Factotum," and "Love is a Dog From Hell," which reflect his gritty, unsentimental style and unique voice in American literature.
