Title: The Buk book
Subtitle: Musings on Charles Bukowski
Description: "The BUK Book offers a unique look at a phenomenon: Charles Bukowski - BUK - the battered and scarred postal clerk, odd jobs man, and lowly factotum, became the best-known "underground" writer in the English language. Jean Genet called him "the best poet in America." His work - raw, crude, heartwarming, and hilarious - has inspired imitators, emulators, sycophants, and detractors. Until now, everything written about the man has suffered accordingly.

In The BUK Book, Jim Christy cuts through all the crap, and writes engagingly about the man, the myth, and his work. The book features twenty-four photographs, all shot by Claude Powell, Bukowski's confidante and drinking buddy."--BOOK JACKET.
