About the author
Charles Bukowski
800听books29.2k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.

I had been reading Chekhov鈥檚 major plays鈥攏ow doesn't that sound elegant and literary?鈥攁nd thought I needed something inelegant and unliterary to follow it up, and found something on audiobooks I hadn鈥檛 read before, from Charles Bukowski, a collection of stories, and it is obvious at a glance that the two writers are very different鈥攚hat do we know about Buk? Wine, women, horseracing, boxing, brutality, usually funny, often obscene, stripped-down prose that is decidedly unpretentious, straightforward鈥攂ut I have to say, just having read Uncle Vanya, with its panoply of unhappy people, some of whom are drunken philandering men, I begin to see Anton and Charles as distant brothers at a century鈥檚 distance.
Both are realists, associated with a sometimes bleak/comic existentialist approach. True, Buk is profane at times, crass, sometimes offensive, but in Hot Water Music the main point is to explore honestly the world of the down and out. Bukowski talks simply and profoundly about the underbelly of the working class without raising judgement. Oh, he's hard on the rich and pretentious, but not about the poor.
Chekhov also sided with the working class and wrote in largely straightforward, unadorned fashion. And like Bukowski Chekhov also describe the world without judging anything in it unless those things are boring or pompous. I have enjoyed more Factotum, Pulp, Ham on Rye, and Post Office, longer works, but I like the art in some of the Henry Chinaski stories here. It is true that the collective focus of these stories is on booze, writing, and sex, and there's a kind of sameness, but one of his characters responds to this criticism:
"You seem to write about sex a lot."
"Yeah, what do you expect me to write about? The stock market? Who wants to read about that?!"
The more absurd stories such as 鈥淵ou Kissed Lilly鈥� and 鈥淚 Love You, Albert,鈥� are silly fun but admirably shaped. Some of the clever鈥攁nd yes, ultimately literary鈥攐nes to check out are 鈥淭he Upward Bird,鈥� 鈥淏eer at the Corner Bar,鈥� 鈥淭he Death of the Father II,鈥� and 鈥淗ead Job,鈥� which is actually from the perspective of a woman (!). Okay, Chekhov did a better job depicting women than Bukowski, I鈥檒l give you that, but I鈥檒l say Chekhov鈥檚 strongest characters generally also tend to be men, not women. So, brothers from different planets? Just a th0ught.

I am quite the fan of Bukowski. I enjoyed Factotum, Pulp, and Post Office in particular, and I think Ham On Rye is a work of art. Perhaps the only real catch to Bukowski's work is that he is something of a one trick pony. Don't get me wrong, though. It's still a good trick.
Where Bukowski fails in his writing (when he fails at all) is when he allows his nihilism to devolve into creative redundancy. He doesn't have very many points to make, and sometimes he tends to make them in the same way. Still, the man is a craftsman when it comes to the rough-hewn and the unflinching gaze of existentialism.
This is why I was disappointed by Hot Water Music.
Bukowski's themes (which are a lot deeper than just drunkeness, sex, ambivalence, and poverty, as some of the other reviews here seem to suggest) translate remarkably well when they are drawn out novelistically by his crisp, spare prose and his dry, gritty dialogue. In his books he takes his time teasing his message out of dark shadows and, when it is exposed to the light, he crushes its skull with a sledgehammer.
Short stories, of course, don't give him as much leisure for dilly-dallying, and as a result his work here is blunter (inasumcuh as that's possible) and duller and far more repetitive. The majority of these stories are about, of course, ambiently depressed alcoholics who haven't the motivation or energy to do anything but keep digging their own grave. You read enough stories about soused women farting and horny men with hemorrhoids and your head starts to swim. Some people might argue that these stories are meant simply to be funny, and depending on your sense of humor, they are -- but no one likes to hear the same joke told ten, twelve, or twenty times in a row. Unless, of course, you really really like the joke.
The more absurd pieces (You Kissed Lilly, Strokes to Nowhere, and I Love You, Albert) are fun enough, and although their playfulness tends to be vacuous, they are still chewy enough to be enjoyable. And there are really some remarkably subtle and clever stories here as well. Most notable among these are Cold Night, The Upward Bird, Beer at the Corner Bar, The Death of the Father II, In and Out and Over, and Head Job.
In these Bukowski trades in his usual and obvious attempts at crassness and crudity for a more ghostly skill: the stories are delivered with his typical point-blank attitude, but their profundity is couched without bravado or brassiness. His short stories work best when they avoid the more blatant trademarks of his novels -- liquor-soaked abuse and disdain. Head Job, especially, is notable for being the first time that I have ever read Bukowski write something from a woman's point of view, and he does it admirably.
This is a decent but repetitive collection of stories, with gems interspersed throughout, but the overall impression is mostly lukewarm, although hardcore fans will love it.

Povestirile astea mi s-au parut mai jucause decat cele din volumul citit anterior, "Dragoste la $17,50". Si asta nu pentru ca subiectele abordate ar fi fost mai usurele. Nici pomeneala. Avem parte si aici de mult sex, (poate chiar mai) multa violenta si degradare. Dar in acest volum am intalnit multe povestiri surprinzatoare, al caror fir narativ a fost imposibil de prevazut. Cel putin pentru mine :)

Non siamo al livello dei romanzi o di qualche altra raccolta di racconti, per貌 leggere il vecchio Buk d脿 sempre calore e sollievo per resistere alle bordate che ci arrivano da pi霉 fronti.
鈥淰ede dottore, la saggezza arriva all鈥檜ltimo 鈥� quando la giovent霉 non c鈥櫭� pi霉, la tempesta 猫 passata e le ragazze se ne sono andate a casa.鈥�
"Percorremmo Alvarado verso nord. Poi prendemmo Glendale Boulevard. Andava tutto bene. Quello che non sopportavo 猫 che un giorno sarebbe scomparso tutto: gli amori, le poesie, i gladioli. Alla fine ci saremmo ritrovati imbottiti di sterco come piadine da due soldi."
"Erano solo le undici meno un quarto e io dormivo sempre fino a mezzogiorno. La vita 猫 dolce se glielo concedi."

More stories, some of the Best Buk stories they is :) Hate everything? Think the world is some sick place where everything we value is falsely raised to be somehow important when it all actually means shit? This is the book for you. Bukowski got it, and he also managed to write some crazy shit about it and lucky for you it can be find just in these pages. Crack her open, and instead of being angry that he's such a douchebag, be furious that you're not.

The key to understanding what makes Bukowski (in my opinion at least) one of the greatest writers that ever lived lies in this very book, in an often-repeated quote which reads:
'Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way'
The best art (again in my opinion at least) can evoke a certain time and a place so vividly that though you may not even have experienced it, you still live it, clearly visualise it, breathe it. For instance, there is a downtempo electronic music band called Boards of Canada, that make music that reminds me of my childhood. This is despite the fact that I first listened to Boards of Canada when I was 29.
Similarly, when I read about Bukowski's LA, I feel I've been to those very same shady bars, those dusty racetracks and lonely motel rooms.
It's hard to pick a favourite from this collection. I could choose between You Kissed Lily, where a marital spat takes a number of extreme turns, In and Out and Over where Bukowski takes us through the highs and lows of the writer's day and makes you feel it is a privileged life after all, the road-rage revenge fantasy of Broken Merchandise, and many more. If I was pushed into a corner, I would choose Beer at the Corner Bar, a fine piece of work that embodies the deep loneliness of the misfit, rather like Camus' The Stranger. There is a very amusing quote about Camus in a different story here, to the effect that Camus spoke of misery as if he had just finished a steak dinner and a bottle of wine i.e. with a sort of detached elegance. There is no such compromise from him here. Or ever.
Bukowski's prose as of itself isn't particularly explosive or beautiful in that flowery way. Like Dostoyevsky though, he has the ability to sum up the nature of existence in a way that shocks you with the beauty of its simplicity. He takes aim from his subconscious to yours with a deadly accuracy. He is also the voice of every societal outcast who still stands proud because his soul and his integrity is still intact. I've never really fit in with the masses, but when I read Bukowski I don't feel particularly bad that I don't.
Hot Water Music is a terrific collection of stories that shock, amuse, and illuminate the way for a lonely soul to find his place in the world.

By far, my favorite work by Bukowski. This collection of short stories is both beautiful and grotesque. He is such an ass, and he talks about such base and vile acts... yet I love it! I could not put it down; I simply had to find out what fucked up thing was going to happen next. I think that the beauty of Bukowski is that he turns shit into flowers. An act that you would never consider to be pleasing is suddenly shown in a more light. Taking a shit. Killing your wife. These things are such social faux-pas to discuss in literature, yet he does it in a captivating way.

Hot Water Music is a collection of short stories about, you guessed it, terrible drunk people. This was my 4th and least favorite Bukowski that I鈥檝e read so far, but I still really, really liked it.
Bukowski is best in small doses I find. The characters and scenes he depicts are so dismal and disgusting and bleak that I try to only read one a year to preserve my mental health and sunny disposition (mild sarcasm). I swear if you鈥檙e struggling with alcoholism and reading a Bukowski doesn鈥檛 get you into rehab, I don鈥檛 know what will. Despite the disturbing nature of what he writes, the dark humor consistently holds me in thrall. I chuckled and laughed out loud several times while reading this collection, and those moments of hilarity are what lifts this collection from an almost gluttonous and redundant obsession with drunken low lifes into something more meaningful, more elusive. I鈥檓 not really sure how to capture it with words but I do believe there's value in reading Bukowski鈥檚 terse, too honest, and sometimes traumatizing stories. You鈥檒l be hard pressed to find a writer that shares everything better than Bukowski, even when you wish he wouldn鈥檛.
Unfortunately I listened to this as an audio book, so I don鈥檛 have a collection of cringe-inducing quotes to share. However, I do remember one vignette. It was a disgusting drunk man (shocker) who had kept his ex-wife鈥檚 high heeled shoes. We don鈥檛 need to discuss what he was doing with the shoes, or the vomitorium of substances his body was coated in. In his continuous drunken stupor he can鈥檛 accept or remember that his wife is now his ex, and that she鈥檚 gone. As another character tries to remind him of that important distinction, that he鈥檚 actually divorced, he exclaims, 鈥淭ell that to the Marines!鈥�
Haha. Damn. You got me again Bukowski.

Lo que ocurre aqu铆, es que no puedo darle m谩s estrellas, DETESTO las recopilaciones, no me gustan, preferir铆a leer un libro de cada historia (aunque en este caso, algunas historias sean de 4 p谩ginas, no importa) prefiero leerlas por separado, 驴Por qu茅? Ok, me gusta Bukowski, me gusta su estilo, me gusta su crudeza, pero a煤n as铆, hay historias que no me gustaron, o por lo menos no tanto como otras, entonces cuando me toca leer 2 historias seguidas que no me gustan (o m谩s), me da un poco de pereza leer las dem谩s, 驴si saben? Porque igual no tienen una continuaci贸n y son ajenas entre s铆 (la mayor铆a) y prefiero una sola historia por larga que sea, a 30 historias en un libro. La raz贸n es que 驴Cu谩nto puedes conocer a un personaje en tan pocas p谩ginas? Ni siquiera llegas a decidir si te gusta o no cuando ya termin贸 la historia.
Por ese lado, Bukowski merece un pan, un rico pan. Porque la mayor铆a (si no es que todos) sus personajes son de una personalidad marcada, desarrollados bien (a mi parecer) incluso en sus 4 p谩ginas.
Hay historias que me hicieron re铆r, otras que ten铆an frases que me gustaron, otras fueron interesantes, otras me gustaron los personajes, y otras realmente me aburrieron. La historia, porque la narrativa de Bukowski me encanta.

Typical Bukowski-que short stories that make you feel funny, disgusting, cynical, sad, shocking, laugh, frown and most importantly boring and lame. The guy says he writes about life and well, I couldn't disagree.

October 21, 2022鈥� S铆鈥� dijo 茅l鈥� . Como Lenny Bruce. Pero 茅l est谩 muerto y yo casi.
鈥� Sigues siendo ingenioso.
鈥� S铆, soy el h茅roe. El mito. El incorruptible, el 煤nico que no se ha vendido. Mis cartas se subastan en el Este por 250 d贸lares. Y no puedo ni comprarme una bolsa de pedos.
鈥� Los escritores siempre and谩is gritando 鈥渜ue viene el lobo鈥�.
鈥� Puede que por fin haya llegado el lobo. No se puede vivir del alma. Con el alma no se puede pagar el alquiler.
Int茅ntalo y ver谩s.鈥�
鈥淏usqu茅 mi mediana cerveza, la destap茅 y beb铆 un buen trago.
鈥� Oye鈥� dijo Vicky鈥� , siempre te emborrachas durante las lecturas. 驴Es que no puedes dominarte, hombre?
鈥� Me emborracho con mis propias lecturas鈥� dije鈥� . Tampoco puedo soportar mi obra. 鈥�
Bukowski, sin duda, tiene un control del ritmo narrativo que es casi un don. Parece m谩s bien un combate de boxeo con finales que terminan en un golpe. Pens谩ndolo bien, otra clase de escritor no lo habr铆a hecho mejor. Por los temas en los que trata en sus relatos, ya de sobra conocidos. Otro escritor los habr铆a hecho aburridos, pero combinado con un humor s贸rdido y negro, junto a la ejecuci贸n del ritmo lo hacen diferente, el estilo directo y sin florituras tambi茅n hace su trabajo.
Ahora bien, obviamente Bukowski era un mis贸gino y un borracho sin remedio, la excusa de que eran otros tiempos hace falta que dejo de serlo. Pero no por ello hay que alejar la obra de la persona, siempre he pensado lo mismo.
Normalmente, las obras que concibe un escritor o una artista son mejore y m谩s trascendentes que el mismo.
Puede aparecer que muchos de los relatos que ejecuta sean, lo que son, realismo sucio. Pero tambi茅n es su realismo sucio, el vagabundeo, el alcoholismo sin remedio y el regocijo de encontrarse en esa situaci贸n. Aunque siempre he pensado que el personaje que creo Bukowski termin贸 siendo m谩s parte de el de lo que se imaginaba. Mis谩ntropo tambi茅n, reflejada en cada uno de sus personajes. No obstante, el atisbo de ternura lo podemos encontrar en su obra po茅tica. Quiz谩, en su interior, no romantizar tanto ese tipo de vida.

Bukowski is one of my all-time faves. His work has brought me much enjoyment over the years. He's a major model to me as a writer. I hadn't looked at any of his short stories in some time, so I picked up one I hadn't previously read, HOT WATER MUSIC. Imagine my sad surprise when I was actually B-O-R-E-D by it.
I dunno. Maybe it's because of the time in Buk's life from which HWM dates, the early 1980s. By then, Buk had cut his famous deal with Black Sparrow's John Martin. Publication for anything he wrote was all but certain. Buk was out of the post office and beginning to ride the wave of critical applause he'd enjoy the rest of his life. And no, I'm not saying he didn't deserve it---he truly did. And I'm not saying he sold out---the guy never came close to doing so.
Then, what's my problem with HOT WATER MUSIC? It's dull. Chockful of stories which strain, desperately, to be 'controversial' or offensive in some way. I mean, a story about a guy shtupping a flower vase? A story about a couple of possible serial killer/cannibals? And the tales don't end so much as they simply peter out, with no resolution of any kind. At times, this can be an effective literary device, but here, it's over-used. It's almost like Bukowski was consciously trying to write an oh-so Bukowski-like book.
Perhaps it's because, at this point, Martin wasn't going to challenge anything Buk submitted. This book feels like an exercise written to fulfill a contractural obligation, rather than a literary statement. HOT WATER MUSIC reads like a self-satisfied author, seriously in need of a editor (all those lengthy, jam-packed paragraphs!) pandering to his audience.
This man wrote books (POST OFFICE, WOMEN, DAYS RUN AWAY LIKE WILD HORSES..., LAST NIGHT OF THE EARTH POEMS) which will live forever. HOT WATER MUSIC isn't one of them.

This is the first thing I read of Bukowski's and his terse style seemed to me like a breath of fresh air. It's as if he copied Hemingway's style and then mimicked it to the point of caricature. And yet somehow I'm still saying that's a good thing.
I believe he took the potentiality of Hemingway's style and magnified it's unpleasantness in a manner similar to how Seth McFarlane exaggerated Matt Groening. Okay, maybe that analogy was pushing it but I love the way no thought or idea is too reprehensible to be included in Bukowski's conception of literature.
By the way, besides the numerous pop culture references, the thing that really got me psyched to start reading Bukowski was the excellent documentaries on him that are available on Netflix.
The length of his stories is interesting as well. These are more like vignettes and so it鈥檚 best to consider the whole work together and the interrelations between vignettes.

I grinned through the first few chapters, chuckled through the next few, then laughed my ass off for the remaining few. CB is a new revelation for me, I think I can understand his perpetual depravity. Maybe depravity is too strong a word. Let's go with misogynist, no, because he also loved thousands of women, for a night or two anyway. I'll have to think of the word, if there is one....@ 6am - Beer & Coffee @ 9am - More beer and a few shots of whiskey @ Noon - Even more beer, a few more shots of whiskey and cheap wine.......Sleep......@ 9pm - Two six packs and vodka & whiskey & red wine until the wee hours of the morning.......next day......the same.

You Kissed Lily was fairly amusing, but I guess I forgot that reading Buk sober was almost pointless.
