About the author
Charles Bukowski
800听books29.1k听followersHenry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books
Charles Bukowski was the only child of an American soldier and a German mother. At the age of three, he came with his family to the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Los Angeles City College from 1939 to 1941, then left school and moved to New York City to become a writer. His lack of publishing success at this time caused him to give up writing in 1946 and spurred a ten-year stint of heavy drinking. After he developed a bleeding ulcer, he decided to take up writing again. He worked a wide range of jobs to support his writing, including dishwasher, truck driver and loader, mail carrier, guard, gas station attendant, stock boy, warehouse worker, shipping clerk, post office clerk, parking lot attendant, Red Cross orderly, and elevator operator. He also worked in a dog biscuit factory, a slaughterhouse, a cake and cookie factory, and he hung posters in New York City subways.
Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including (1994), (1993), and (1992).
He died of leukemia in San Pedro on March 9, 1994.

yeah, i went through my Bukowski phase too, although my phase was short lived. i probably would have given all of the books that i read an extra star if i rated them at the time that i read them. maybe i am not being fair. biggest lesson learned from reading Bukowski - don't date guys who idolize Bukowski. it never ever works out...

Greta, help, I can鈥檛 stop reading Charles Bukowski! And I鈥檓 not a nihilist, though Bukowski very well may be. His only allegiances are to women, booze and (betting on) horses, the backdrop of which is decades of working a lot of terrible jobs he makes us shudder and laugh about. Oh, and Bukowski also at his best has an undying allegiance to great writing, crafting so much more of it than you might expect from his (existential) condition. And sure, Greta, some of them are nasty and difficult, but many of them are flat out gems.
I don鈥檛 know, maybe it鈥檚 because I read so many tender picture books and thoughtful graphic novels/memoirs, most of them the last few years written by women. Maybe I come back to Buk as an antidote to hope and compassion from time to time. A reverse palate cleanser? I never lived in the gutter, but Buk did, and he shows us what it is like to be there. I can鈥檛 really say why I need to read about that. But he makes fun of the rich and pretentious, the arrogant and effete. And then he makes you laugh about it and above all, laugh at him and his friends in their hopeless squalor. Because if you strip away most of what these stories are about, many great ones, they are at base about addiction. About drinking yourself to ruin. Sympathy for the devil?
Maybe I return to Bukowski, Greta, because he writes about whatever he writes about so well.
"An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way"鈥旵harles Bukowski, Notes of a Dirty Old Man (1969)
Bukowski sometimes writes badly, but at his best he鈥檚 an artist in this collection. In terms of style he is anti-romantic, the opposite of fussy and 鈥渓iterary.鈥� He tells his truth. And entertains in the process. His best stories in this 1973 collection include, 鈥淎ll the Assholes in the World Plus Mine,鈥� a story about his (because his main character, Henry Chinaski, is a stand-in for him) hemorrhoid operation, a topic that is unavoidably funny, and 鈥淐onfessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live With Beasts.鈥� I also like "Christ on Rollerskates," 鈥淲hat Killed Dylan Thomas,鈥� and the story of Chinaski going into the ring with Hemingway.
Sure, Greta, these stories are unfailingly gritty, sometimes offensive, and they make you feel guilty sometimes when he drags you down into his world with him, invites you to the bar to drink and laugh with him. Am I bad because I stayed with him til the bartender threw us out?! Maybe. Well, I had a few hours in a car and so I admit I enjoyed hearing them. Is he a nihilist with a heart? Maybe. But this guy could, for a long time, really write, and this collection is some of the evidence.

Gritty, Irrelevant but Extremely Fun.
Charles Bukowski is not for everyone, but he has a loyal fan base spreading over decades. He is popular because of his raw unfiltered voice and his ability to capture the struggles, absurdities and occasional joys of everyday life of the down and out. 鈥楽outh of No North鈥� is typical Bukowski and one of my favourites of his. It is an unapologetic collection of short stories that exemplifies his distinctive style. Published in 1973, this anthology dives into the seedy underbelly of life in America, populated by drunks, misfits, dreamers, and the downtrodden. Through these characters, Bukowski explores themes of loneliness, desperation, love, and fleeting hope, all while offering a brutally honest critique of society.
The stories in this collection are concise, visceral, and often unsettling. Bukowski鈥檚 prose is deceptively simple鈥攈e strips language to its bare essentials, creating an almost poetic cadence to his work. Despite the grim subject matter, his dark humor and keen observations lend the stories a sharp edge. He writes about the grotesque and the mundane with equal weight, illuminating the beauty and absurdity of human existence.
One of the standout features of 鈥楽outh of No North鈥� is its unwavering authenticity. Bukowski draws heavily from his own experiences, blending fiction and autobiography in a way that feels intensely personal. The protagonists, often thinly veiled versions of Bukowski himself, navigate a world filled with rejection, fleeting pleasures, and existential angst. However, the collection has been criticised in recent times. Bukowski鈥檚 depiction of women has often been called out for its misogynistic undertones and perhaps time has throughly moved on from when this book was written. While these portrayals may be reflective of his characters鈥� flawed perspectives, they can alienate readers who expect more nuanced or empathetic depictions.
Despite its polarising aspects, 鈥楽outh of No North鈥� remains a compelling and important work. It captures the struggles of those living on society鈥檚 fringes, offering an unvarnished look at the human condition. For fans of Bukowski鈥檚 unfiltered style and newcomers seeking a raw literary experience, this collection serves as a powerful introduction to his world.
This book is not for the faint-hearted, but for those willing to embrace its unflinching honesty, it is a profound and unforgettable read. He will remain popular for years to come due to his unapologetic and honest approach, his accessible writing style and anti establishment outlook. Furthermore, it must be remembered that Charles Bukowski is a titan of American literature because he represents a counterpoint to traditional literary norms and expands the boundaries of what can be considered artful or worthy of literary exploration. His contributions lie in his unique voice, his focus on the lives of ordinary and marginalised individuals, and his lasting influence on contemporary literature and culture.
Charles Bukowski is not for everyone, but he has a loyal fan base spreading over decades. He is popular because of his raw unfiltered voice and his ability to capture the struggles, absurdities and occasional joys of everyday life of the down and out. 鈥楽outh of No North鈥� is typical Bukowski and one of my favourites of his. It is an unapologetic collection of short stories that exemplifies his distinctive style. Published in 1973, this anthology dives into the seedy underbelly of life in America, populated by drunks, misfits, dreamers, and the downtrodden. Through these characters, Bukowski explores themes of loneliness, desperation, love, and fleeting hope, all while offering a brutally honest critique of society.
The stories in this collection are concise, visceral, and often unsettling. Bukowski鈥檚 prose is deceptively simple鈥攈e strips language to its bare essentials, creating an almost poetic cadence to his work. Despite the grim subject matter, his dark humor and keen observations lend the stories a sharp edge. He writes about the grotesque and the mundane with equal weight, illuminating the beauty and absurdity of human existence.
One of the standout features of 鈥楽outh of No North鈥� is its unwavering authenticity. Bukowski draws heavily from his own experiences, blending fiction and autobiography in a way that feels intensely personal. The protagonists, often thinly veiled versions of Bukowski himself, navigate a world filled with rejection, fleeting pleasures, and existential angst. However, the collection has been criticised in recent times. Bukowski鈥檚 depiction of women has often been called out for its misogynistic undertones and perhaps time has throughly moved on from when this book was written.

Intense furious stories written by a guy who had been truly free for a long time. You can tell that Bukowski never gave a shit. He never gave a shit for a long time. It cannot be earned overnight. You have to keep at not giving a shit for a really long time. You can fake it but you will be found out.
Are you a square on an Excel sheet who has been on it for years? You know what needs to be done. You know what's going on. You have to keep at it for a long time. Only then will you truly understand. It cannot be earned overnight.
Bukowski knew what was going on. He wrote about what was going on in a way few people would dare to write. Bukowski was so free that you would end up hating 90% of the things in the world if you read his books. You had to take a phone call? Shit! What an assault on your spirit. Well, Bukowski did not give a shit if you got burned reading his stories.

"Seppellitemi vicino all'ippodromo cos矛 che possa sentire l'ebbrezza della volata finale"
Le copertine di Guanda dei libri di Bukowski son brutte. E鈥� per questo che ho messo l鈥檈dizione TEA sebbene abbia letto la Guanda.
Bellissimo il titolo, che ricalca fedelmente l鈥檕riginale inglese. Siamo confusi e persi, non c鈥櫭� bussola che ci indichi il Nord e forse un Nord non c鈥櫭� se non per la strada e direzione che decidiamo di percorrere.
27 racconti, la maggioranza molto corti o anche se pi霉 lunghi composti a vignette.
Ci si diverte o si gode del racconto con: il superdotato indigeno Maja Thurup e la sua amante 鈥渃ivilizzata鈥�, le scene pulp e le spacconate contro i supporter Vietcong o i cowboy (鈥淕li assasini鈥�, 鈥淪toria di una bandiera vietcong鈥�, 鈥淓hi, bello, piantala di guardarmi le tette鈥�), il match con Hemingway (鈥淐lasse鈥�), l鈥檜omo che si innamora di una donna-manichino (鈥淎more a $17.50), l鈥檕perazione alle emorroidi (鈥淭utti i culi del mondo ed il mio鈥�), le storie che virano sul fantastico con mini-uomini o uomini-diavolo (鈥淣on c鈥櫭� via per il paradiso鈥�, 鈥淚l diavolo era caldo鈥�).
Ma le parti migliori sono sempre quelle autobiografiche, sparse in qualche modo in tutti i racconti, dove emerge la vita derelitta di Buck, sfigurata dall鈥檃cne in giovent霉 e da rapporti familiari difficili, devastata poi dalla povert脿 estrema e da lavori sfiancanti e umilianti, la ribellione contro un sistema annichilente affogata nell鈥檃lcol, i libri e le corse di cavalli a riempire la solitudine, la continua ricerca di rapporti umani sublimati nel sesso, ad inseguire il sogno di diventare scrittore.

The majority of these stories are (semi-?)autobiographical. What does Bukowski's alter ego do? He drinks, he fucks. He's a bum. When he's not on a drinking or fucking spree he tries (and fails) to hold down any mean job, or he's in hospital recovering from some booze-induced ailment. He hates his fellow men who are clean-shaven and have steady jobs. (I like clean-shaven men with steady jobs: more often than not they are decent, idealistic people with a self-deprecating sense of humor that arises from the realization that their life-long hard work will only do so much to make this world a better place.) The few stories that don't feature his alter ego are all about .... drinking! ...fucking! Here's one: Big Jim fucks all the ladies, for Big Jim has a big cock and wins all the fights . One day Big Jim humps somebody's girl friend. The somebody objects and challenges Big Jim to a duel. But not to worry: the girl friend shoots her boy friend dead. End of story. Next story: Some big guy rapes hippie chick at knife-point, after knocking down one of her two male companions - who are unarmed, therefore don't interfere. After the act the girl informs her buddies that solely from a sexual point of view it wasn't all that bad and 'you guys almost don't exist'. The three of them continue on their hitch-hiking way. End of story. Get the picture? This world is for the big, strong, mean and well-hung tomcats. You have a sensitive soul, or your prick is just average? You're out. (You're female? You're fucking material - that is, if your ass/tits/legs are tops - otherwise you don't exist.) Get this: I'm not a prude - I like sex (like you); I do the hard drug ethanol (like most of you) and soft drugs like nicotine and marihuana "on an occasional basis" - like some of you.) But unlike Bukowsky (and again, like most of you (men) - I kn贸w) I don't look upon the other gender as an amalgamation of butt, boobs and legs. And then: a whole book full of stories where the mind and the senses have been numbed by alcohol: it gets so vacuous, so repetitive. Besides, most of these stories don't go anywhere; they just end in mid-air. One example: Guy has a row with his girl-friend. Guy walks out the door, takes a drive, buys a quart of liquor, gets back in his car, opens the door to alluring young girl - girl is unwilling; he shows her the bottle; girl steps right in. End of story. On the positive side: fast-paced, funny (here and there), straightforward unembellished story-telling (like Hemingway) - but the subject matter is too limited, adolescent, or downright boring. A big no-no.
After writing this review I took a look at what some other 欧宝娱乐 people had to say about this book. Here's Lucas Podesta's review: ' Hey, let me tell you about 25 different times I got drunk and had sex.' That about sums it up.

This is one great collection of stories. They touched me in every way possible. It was my first encounter with Bukowski and not the last.
He is crystal clear in his descriptions, aggresive in his opininons.
You have to be a certain typ to like him. He is raw and doesnt comfort the reader. If you like the superficial glamorous this is not for you. if you like Tom Waits, this is definitely for you.

Of course, it is only my opinion, but this collection of short stories is better than any Bukowski novel (I've read three of them) but yet dedicated to his own public.
Some stories, like Stop Staring at My Tits, Mister or Pittsburgh Phil and Co. are more than decent and look like fables, some of them, Maja Thurup included, are quite horrible...

This is Bukowski at his typical nasty self, a proud misogynist who can't get along with others. It was published in the early 1970s, after Buk had finally enjoyed some success and recognition after many long years of drunken secret writing. It is the beginning of his time in life when he became a bit more respectable and his home life stabilized (he would recoil at this characterization). This collection is unique in that it is entirely short stories and sketches, none of the typical poetry. If you've read him before, it is the usual fare of screeching women, drunken revelry, gambling at the track, bumming and with a few sci-fi-like fantasy pieces thrown in for interest. I give it 3 stars because I feel it is familiar terrain for him, and was covered in other books in similar format. It also lacked some of the intense self hatred and loneliness that gave his writing special interest for me. Or it was just the mood I was in.

Bukowski is a no bullshit gangsta. He comes, he shoots, he leaves.
(Yeah, innuendo intended. A little bit.)

This is a book of short stories. Dark, gloomy, brutal and real. I adore Bukowski's colorful vocabulary and rough 'round the edges vernacular.

Sempre de costas voltadas 脿 moralidade, 脿 margem do politicamente correcto, Bukowski deixou-nos este conjunto de contos, que muito apreciei.
A marginalidade, o 谩lcool e o sexo, como temas omnipresentes na sua obra, recordamos v谩rias viv锚ncias do seu alter ego - Henri Chinaski. Por vezes, senti-me nas p谩ginas de Mulheres ou P茫o com Fiambre, com a aspereza caracter铆stica e com os pensamentos 茅brios (muito assertivos).
Com aquele toque autobiogr谩fico, alguns contos s茫o mais veros铆meis, outros mais rocambulescos, mas regados com uma boa dose de humor c谩ustico.

The Buried Life
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) had a gift for creating evocative titles. The title of this book, "South of No North: Stories of the Buried Life" (1975) captures hauntingly the sense of loneliness, alienation, and aloneness that underlies the 27 short stories in this volume.
Bukowski began writing short stories at an early age while he supported himself doing odd jobs and through work at the Post Office. He then turned to poetry and, eventually, to writing novels at the urging of John Martin of Black Sparrow Press. Bukowski continued to write stories and columns for underground newspapers in Los Angeles. Some of the stories are included here.
As are the novels, Bukowski's stories are raw and gritty. They are filled with life in Los Angeles flophouses and cheap rooming houses. The stories feature chronic alcoholism, crude sexuality, sexual frustration, horseplaying, violence, and joblessness. They are a chronicle of the life of the down-and-outer.
Many of the stories are told in the voice of Henry Chinaski, the autobiographical character that is at the center of Bukowski's novels. But interestingly, some of the stories in this collection feature other characters and settings. The collection includes, for example a fanciful story set in the old West, "Stop Staring ... Mister", and stories with imaginative, if macabre themes, including "No way to Paradise", "Maja Thurup" and "The Devil was Hot".
The dominant impression these stories convey is one of loneliness and isolation. Whether the character is Chinaski or another individual, Bukowski writes of individuals who lack social connectedness and sense of purpose. His characters are perpetual outsiders who mock a world they cannot share and simultaneously tear themselves apart. Dostoevsky's Underground Man is a distant cousin of most of the characters we meet in Bukowski's stories. Another book that I find similar in tone, set in New York City rather than the west coast is Hubert Selby's "Last Exit to Brooklyn" which shares much of the grimness, loneliness, sexual obsession, and search for love that I find in Bukowski.
Some of the works included in this collection are more vignettes than short stories. There is little in the way of development and in some cases the climax of the story is nonexistent or misfires. There are interesting settings, however, in many of these stories and as sketches many of them work well.
The stories that exemplify the theme of loneliness for me include the first one in the collection, titled "Loneliness" and the story "Remember Pearl Harbor?" which tells of Chinaski's rejection for military service in WW II. These stories are good at sketching the nature of the rootless, lonely individual. Some of the other stories in this collection that I thought good are "Bop Bop against that Curtain", "Christ on Rollerskates", "Hit Man", "Pittsburgh Phil & Co" (a fine story about gambling at the racetrack) and "Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live with Beasts."
Bukowski writes simply with short sentences in a style filled with explecatives and references to sexual and excrecatory functions. I became interested in Bukowski's writings several years ago, put them aside, and then reread some of them after viewing an excellent film on Bukowski's life: "Bukowski: Born into This". Bukowski is hardly a writer for all times and all seasons. But there is a toughness and raw humor in these books, and a sense of loss and sadness that make Bukowski's books highly evocative of certain kinds of blue and lonely feelings. The stories are metaphors of a buried life than many people see in themeselves at times in somewhat different ways than the ways presented in Bukowski's writings. That is why, I think, Bukowski continues to have a following and to be read.

Bukowski's short stories aren't new to me. I've read through and . Both of those were filled with some great shorts, but I'm left feeling a little disappointed with South of No North.
It's not that there aren't some good shorts in here. There are. Personally, "Bop Bop Against That Curtain", "Politics", "Love for $17.50", and "Pittsburgh Phil & Co." were a few of the highlights. Highlights, but not stunners. They didn't throw the right hook I expected from old Buk.
But that's Bukowski.
Not all of his work is strong. I don't think he ever gave a shit, either. He wrote what he wanted to write and people published it. Even now, as I sit typing a review of his work, I know he wouldn't give a god damn what I thought. And that's fine. 'Cause neither should you.
If I've come away with anything from this collection, it's that some of my work is gonna be rot. Hell, it may all be rot. But I like writing. Most of the time. Sometimes, it's a tricky bitch, but it's something I've got to do.
You win some. You lose more. That's one thing Buk certainly knows a lot about. South of No North? Well, it's stumbling a bit in the ring.
It's not pretty and it's left eye is swollen shut. It got some good jabs in, but that big mother on the other side of the ring is fighting on steak and potatoes. This one is trudging through the ring with a gut full of beer ten-cent hot dogs.
A couple good jabs. It's goin' down. But it was a good fight.
