Summary
Charles Bukowski: No More Heroes
No More Heroes is the second collection of Bukowski's "uncollected" treats (stories, columns, essays and reviews), once published in abandoned and forgotten trash and underground magazines, as well as several previously unpublished texts. The book appeared following the principle "because you asked for it", as a happy consequence of the demand of an insatiable market which, as in the case of Hendrix, Morrison, Presley, Cash and other legendary rock heroes, is hungry for new and undiscovered recordings/texts. Bukowski seemed to sense it: »I have slept in many beds and spent many years researching for you. Don't expect me to back down, give up and shut up about it now. There is also something called love. I like to write dirty stories, and you like to read them and hate me for them."
Really, few people knew how to package romance as skillfully (oiling it with sex, humor and a specific life philosophy) as Bukowski; few have raised the flag of eccentricity and loneliness, pain and passion, freedom and free love, independence and independence, writing and drinking so high... To the potential reader, the author says: "It sounds sad, but I think this book is worth reading. And that in 200 years, unborn unborn librarians will cum in their floral panties, recognizing the strength in her even after my damn stupid skull becomes a worthless playground for worms, rodents and other underground creatures."
