Charles Bukowski - Howard Sounes

Locked in The Arms of a Crazy Life is the acclaimed biography of Charles Bukowski, the hard-drinking barfly whose semi-autobiographical books about low-life America made him a cult figure across the globe. Extensive research and unique contributions from friends, family and associates ? including Mickey Rourke, Harry Dean Stanton, Robert Crumb, Sean Penn, Norman Mailer and Allen Ginsberg ? as well as personal photographs and drawings make this a must for all Bukowski devotees and new readers alike.This updated edition features a new preface by the author, expanded notes and a unique star rating in the bibliography of Bukowski's own works.
