Charles Bukowski - Música para Água Ardente
18.00€
Música para Água Ardente (1983) is pure, unfiltered Bukowski — no compromises.
A collection of around thirty brief stories, consistently biting, hilarious, and grotesque, in which we often find his infamous alter ego, Chinaski, alongside the usual cast of suspects from the author’s boozy tales: stranded lives, soaked in incurable frustration, men searching for redemption on the cheap and betting, time and again, on the wrong horses. Stories that reek of alcohol and humanity, the tales gathered here are a tonic for the sordid, shadowy side in all of us, and sharp glimpses into man’s solitary nature, captured vividly by this destructive post-beat messenger. Stumbling through rough neighborhoods, Bukowski stays true to himself, continuing his chronicle of America’s dispossessed — this time to the sound of hot water trickling from the radiators of shabby Los Angeles motels.
