Charles Bukowski's characters are the losers in the race for the American Dream. He focuses on them in his stories, creating gritty snapshots from the margins of society. In "Kaputt in Hollywood," "Love It or Leave It," and "A Rainy Woman's Story," we encounter them: the hopeless drunks, the women with smeared lipstick, the thugs and gamblers. And who could interpret these observations better than the great melancholic and Berlin actor Otto Sander? In his usual laconic manner and with smoke in his voice, he reads the early short stories of the poet and drinker Bukowski. Reading by Otto Sander, 1 mp3-CD, approx. 1 hour 3 minutes.
