Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was a prolific American writer best known for his raw and gritty poetry and prose. Born in Germany and raised in Los Angeles, Bukowski worked a variety of odd jobs before achieving literary success in his 50s. His writing often centered around themes of alcoholism, sex, and existential angst, and his unflinching style continues to influence generations of writers.
