From his early hardscrabble life to his literary success, Charles Bukowski's unique personality came alive through his work. In 1993, the year before he died, this counterculture icon recorded and published selections from his classic Run With the Hunted. Now, for the first time, additional material from that recording session is included on this special, expanded edition, including candid conversations between Bukowski, his wife, and his producer. For any fan of Charles Bukowski, these recordings are an intimate look at a brilliant and wild mind.

Includes poems and selections from: Consummation of Grief; Less Delicate Than the Locust; are you drinking?; Ham on Rye; we ain't got no money, honey but we got rain; and The Genius of the Crowd

Review

"Read by Bukowski, the works take on greater magnitude from the intensity of his soft, almost calm voice... Stunning."-- "Houston Daily Cougar"

About the Author

Charles Bukowski is one of America’s best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.

I love this old man's poetry even though he was a jerk sometimes. Alcohol was his defense from the crush of reality. Like Kerouac. It's easy to see how this can happen. Been there. After he reads "Dinosauria, We" (Born Into This), he seems surprised by the violence of his own imagery. He really was a sensitive soul. He had a great reading voice for his own poetry and his life story is damn interesting. This is probably his best recorded work.

This has excerpts from the book, Run with Hunted, my favorite of his books.

Bukowski, laughing until the end

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2002

Shortly before his death, Bukowski was the subject of an anthology. It is a good anthology, not a great one, but a good one, and Bukowski seemed to think so as well. He notes during the reading of one the selections that they "Put some pretty good stuff in here" which, for Bukowski, is a whale of a compliment. It took me a long time to realize it, but Bukowski meant for his works to be funny, tragically funny perhaps, but funny nonetheless. Hearing Buk read these well known passages from his poetry and prose is a pleasure that is hard for me to communicate.
He was a decent man.

Fun listen but not long enough

I liked reading some of Bukowski's books and recently found he had recorded audio for some. I decided to check out this CD to hear how Bukowski sounded when reading. It's an entertaining audio, I like the out takes and editing but the disk could've been a little longer. I would recommend renting this audio if you can.

The recording quality may not be absolutely perfect but the item captures Bukowski as he was, and adds significantly to the image one gets about his personality and his views from reading his, frequently repetitive books.

Just what I expected ... only better!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2005

This double CD is a total joy! Quintessential Bukowski - there's nothing like hearing poems read by the author, I think, especially with him.

There's two CD's, poems interspersed with conversations with the people doing the recording. The only drawback could be that all of the recordings were done in a room with only a few people there, so there's an odd lack of feeling, the buzz you normally get in a live recording. Bukowski was also almost reluctant at times to read, but at the same time, the stillness in the background frames his voice and the work perfectly somehow. He warms up as it goes on, and as they have a few more drinks, and even reads a short story, which is brilliant.

There's some great photos of him in the booklet; no printed poems, but the sound quality is excellent, so you can hear every word.

If you're a fan, get it! If you want an introduction to Bukowski, get it!

OLD BUKOWSKI - 12 Months before death - Buy NOW!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2011

Essential 2 disc set from Caedmon Audio
Run time 2 1/2 hrs

The tape just runs & Buk recites poems (sometimes restarting them - he even reads Genius of the crowd twice) & stories spanning his whole career.
inbetween he reminisces about Ezra Pound, John Fante & an assortment of other stuff.
Sound is crystal and fab -
Housed in a dual gatefold jewel case.

Buk is likely to go down as one of the 20th centuries best poets.

If your into him...

You need this set - No question.

Also a fine place to start for those just starting to dip in the audio side.

5/5.

More than awesome actually to hear Bukowski reading his poems, sometimes slowly, sometimes confused. Wish there was more recordings like this.
