Summary

Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp (1994).

Reader reviews for Septuagenarian Stew

From the publisher

"The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles."--Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author

"He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels."--Leonard Cohen, songwriter

Septuagenarian Stew is a combination of poetry and stories written by Charles Bukowski that delve into the lives of different people on the backstreets of Los Angeles. He writes of the housewife, the bum, the gambler and the celebrity to evoke a portrait of Los Angeles.


This is Bukowski uncorked--a raw stew of life from the gutter, served straight up:


  • Dirty Realism: Stories of housewives, bums, gamblers, and hustlers, all told with the unflinching honesty that made Bukowski a legend.
  • Los Angeles Fiction: A portrait of the city's forgotten backstreets, cheap bars, and flophouse hotels, far from the Hollywood glamour.
  • Stories of Drinking and Gambling: Tales from the bottom of a bottle and the losing end of a trifecta, where the only thing left to do is laugh at the odds.
  • Raw and Poetic Voice: The masterful blend of gritty, conversational prose and sudden, gut-punching poetry that defined a generation of underground literature.
