a compilation of letters which span the whole of bukowski's (and humankind's) emotions; some are bleak, some are comical, and some are so visceral & real that it's impossible to not be affected by their words and the emotive subtext within them. (

Bukowski's letters are as real and gut wrenching as any of his stories and poems. (
