Bring Me the Head of Charles Bukowski

From the desk of the most prolific writer that you have never heard of comes sixteen short stories and a novella, thematically dealing with loneliness and the importance of small distractions. This grouping of energetic, original and humorous short stories deal with a wide range of topics from sex and drugs to insanity and murder, a trip to Tennessee after a devastating tornado, a woman who works as a phone sex operator to help make ends meet, realizations of being in love, and stories about the frustrations of the writing life. There is no other writer who speaks with such a unique voice and does so from such a point of view.
