For the first time in paperback - from the estate of Charles Bukowski. Charles Bukowski was perhaps the most controversial scandal author of 20th-century American literature. 'The Wine-Soaked Notebook' contains an extensive selection of long-lost texts by Bukowski that he wrote for underground newspapers, literary magazines, and even pornographic magazines. These stories, essays, and newspaper columns, mostly appearing in German for the first time, showcase Bukowski in all his mastery - Bukowski at his best. "The brilliant mole has left us more texts, and they are hits - they bring tears to your eyes." Tom Waits.
