A lot of people dont understand the premise of this book. They want to know why there isnt any Bukowski in a book about Bukowski. Well, thats just itit isnt about the legendary Bukowski, its about the influence of Bukowski on a generation of writers who followed him into the trenches to write in their own particular style. Before Bukowski became the legendary Bukowski, when he was just another schmuck writing the not-so-great American novel, when he had a snowballs chance in hell of catching a break, he was like some of you; living with his dreams and enjoying the fruits of his low-life, with no discernible future, hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheckthe writing more of a distraction than a way out. Im sure that some of you readers know exactly what Im talking about (I cant be the only one left who hasnt been sucked into the great American Myth machine).
