DESCRIPTION:Editor David Calonne discusses the work of Charles Bukowski, celebrating 
 the release of More Notes of a Dirty Old Man: The Uncollected Columns by 
 Charles Bukowski, published by City Lights Books.\n\nAfter toiling in 
 obscurity for years, Charles Bukowski found fame in 1967 with his 
 autobiographical newspaper column, "Notes of a Dirty Old Man," and a book 
 of that name in 1969. He continued writing this column, from its inception 
 in Open City to its conclusion in High Times, through the mid-1980s. More 
 Notes of a Dirty Old Man gathers many uncollected gems from the column's 
 20-year run. These stories and essays haven't been seen in decades, making 
 More a valuable addition to Bukowski's oeuvre. Filled with his usual 
 obsessions--sex, booze, gambling--More features Bukowski's offbeat insights 
 into politics and literature, his tortured relationships with women, and 
 his lurid escapades on the poetry circuit. Highlighting his versatility, 
 the book ranges from thinly veiled autobiography to fictional tales of 
 dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians, and down-and-out sports 
 promoters, climaxing with a long, hilarioius adventure amoung French 
 filmmakers, "My Friend The Gambler," based on his experiences making the 
 movie, Barfly. From his days at the post office through his later fame, 
 More follows the entire arc of Bukowski's career.\n\nEdited by Bukowski 
 scholar David Stephen Calonne, More Notes of a Dirty Old Man features an 
 afterword outlining the history of the column and its effect on the 
 author's creative development.\n
