Praise for
CHARLES BUKOWSKI: LOCKED IN THE ARMS OF A CRAZY LIFE
‘Exhilarating, hilarious and often emotionally draining, this superb biography of the maverick, hard-bitten bard of the Los Angeles demi-monde uncorks a potent brew of wild, anti-heroic anecdotes.’ Publishers Weekly
‘This is the first in-depth biography of Bukowski and succeeds by pulling into focus the hazy image of the apocryphal barfly anti-hero.’ The Times
‘In his engaging biography … Sounes adroitly uses snippets of Bukowski’s poems to comment upon the writer’s life, and his interviews and correspondence with everyone from Sean Penn to Bukowski’s former girlfriends reveal a more sensitive and vulnerable artist than the virile, down-and-out he-man persona Bukowski so diligently created.’ New York Times Book Review
‘Bukowski has been cursed here with a good and thorough biographer, and the portrait of the subject that emerges, while verifiably accurate, is not a very pretty one.’ Washington Post
‘Draws on a huge amount of source material and can claim to be the most definitive to date.’ Guardian
‘Bukowski’s America – a land of free-falling morals and stunted personalities – is particularly well explored.’ Observer
‘Powerfully researched.’ Times Literary Supplement
‘Sounes’s book is assiduously researched and simply told in a style that allows the full complexity of the writer’s personality to unravel. Five stars.’ The List
‘Sounes, who consulted private letters to and by Bukowski, assembled a formidable range of interviewees, including Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, Bukowski’s widow, his publisher, his girlfriends, a barman and many poets from Los Angeles with whom he drank, to construct an intriguing biography of a complex man. Bukowski’s life is described by many voices and not just one, and Sounes astutely avoids simply regurgitating infamous anecdotes that are commonplace to anyone who knows the work… Importantly, the biography provides a correct chronology of Bukowski’s life, difficult to grasp from simply reading the novels. Sounes also succeeds in deflating some myths about Bukowski.’ Independent on Sunday
