About the Book: Pulp
Opening with the exotic Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writers seedy office in
pursuit of a writer named Celine, this novel demonstrates Bukowskis own brand of
humour and realism, opening up a landscape of seamy Los Angeles.
About the Author: Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski is one of Americas best-known contemporary writers of poetry
and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was
born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German
mother, and brought to the United States at the age of three. He was raised in
Los Angeles and lived there for fifty years.
