TLS - Typed Letter Signed
Prolific poet, novelist, and short story writer (1920–1994) known for his alcoholism, love of women, and vulgar style. TLS signed “Buk,” one page, 8.5 x 11, May 5, 1987. Letter to an admirer. In full: “No, nobody’s writing any longer influences me. About all I can read without some agony is the daily newspaper. I have no fear of good writing. I only wish there were more of it. There’s room. It’s a large stage, if a shakey [sic] one. About all that enters my wiring, I mean my writing is the booze I am drinking and the music I am listening to on the radio. Give a man a bit of solitude and a good night’s sleep now and then and he can just about beat anything except the last card.” Under his signature, Bukowski has added a small self-portrait caricature with a bottle of beer. In fine condition. An insightful and entertaining letter highlighting the writer’s obvious disdain for the current state of writing, with an excellent remark and sketch illustrating his favorite past-time.
