The life of Charles Bukowski, laureate of lowlife Los Angeles, written by close friend and collaborator, Neeli Cherkovski. This year marks Charles Bukowski's centennial year and this one-of-a-kind biography is the closest readers will come to meeting the man himself--an unforgettable encounter no one should miss. Cherkovski shares intimate stories from his decades of personal experiences with Bukowski and brings the life--and complexities--of a great American writer into focus. As an additional feature, Cherkovski has written a new preface, "This Thing Upon Me Is Not Death: Reflections on the Centennial of Charles Bukowski".
