- with illustrations by Robert Crumb.
Translated by Henrik List
'Bring your love to me'
Gloria is admitted to a psychiatric hospital far from home, and her husband Harry, who has checked into a nearby motel, comes to visit. This doesn't exactly thrill Gloria, although the patronizing head doctor believes she's making great progress and will soon recover...
'There's No Business...'
Retired comedian Manny Hyman is a Las Vegas veteran with a steady job at a second-rate casino hotel. One night before another show, there's a knock on the dressing room door, where Manny soothes his nerves
with a beer glass full of vodka. It's Joe, the hotel's longtime booker, who wants to have a serious talk...
After publishing a series of poetry collections, Charles
Charles Bukowski (1920-94) finally became famous and infamous in his hometown of Los Angeles in the late 60s for his politically incorrect "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" columns. His literary breakthrough came in the 70s with novels like "Post Office" and "Factotum" about his alter-ego Hank Chinaski; a dirty, drunken old man with a weakness for canned beer, young girls, horse racing and classical music.
Until the cult author turned 50, he hustled his way through odd jobs and lived among hookers and pickpockets in some of LA's seediest neighborhoods.
Bukowski is the poet of the losers, the bodegas and the gutter, who, especially in his short stories, managed to depict the shadowy sides of life with poetry, realism, gallows humor and tight linguistic mastery.
For six decades, Robert Crumb (1943) has shocked, entertained, titillated and challenged imaginations and inhibitions in his often autobiographical comics. Crumb was at the forefront of the so-called underground movement in American comics in the 1960s.
Crumb's distaste for American culture and values led him to move to the south of France in 1991, where he and his wife, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, have since published a series of works in which they openly discuss their relationship with art, sex, gender politics, fame, religion and inferiority. When Crumb isn't wielding a pen, he plays banjo and mandolin in R. Crumb & His Cheap Suit Serenaders.
