Charles Bukowski cover

Charles Bukowski

by Charles Burowski

Neither entry of the 2 listed issues of this book here are accurate. Both are miscredited to Charles Bukowski as Author. In no particular order, 1) please note the publication date. It is YEARS after Bukowski died (& years after he got ill to the point where he could no longer write such books even before he died). Bukowski wrote about himself, yes, but within a character -- not as Bukowski. 2) More importantly, the accurate author is not credited at all despite the fact that he wrote this book over 25 years ago - well known - & his name is on the cover. GERALD LOCKLIN is the only author of Charles Bukowski: A Sure Bet. Gerry was Buk's favorite living LA-area writer & he stated many times he felt Gerry was the best writer in LA. They were great, longtime friends. Many people wrote bio-type books, trying to cash in, but few were as qualified to write something about Buk as Gerry.
