Charles Bukowski ALS 1984
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Autograph letter signed by German American poet, novelist, and short story writer, Charles Bukowski. Signed “Buk.” Single page letter measures 8.5” x 11”. Dated 16 November 1984, Bukowski writes to a policeman friend in Germany. In part: “It’s all right to be a policeman. Without some kind of law, many of the people would be at each other’s throats. I still write and drink and gamble. My editor publishes about a book a year. I always had the need to write but never thought I’d be this lucky. Now don’t get shot, and go easy on the drunks.” Bukowski has highlighted his letter with five small sketches to the edges of the page, including a dog, a bird, and the sun. Accompanied by cover addressed in his hand, and signed in the return address area, “Bukowski.” In fine condition, with light toning to edges, and a small tear to top edge.
