Synopsis "Ausencia del Heroe (in Spanish)"

Un libro imprescindible para los seguidores de Bukowski. Tras publicar mas de cincuenta libros en vida, muchos relatos y articulos importantes de Bukowski continuan dispersos o ineditos. Este volumen es una antologia de esta obra desperdigada. Empezando por los primeros cuentos que publico en revistas a finales de la decada de 1940, el libro brinda al lector un viaje contracultural por las batallas literarias de los cincuenta, la agitacion psicodelica de los sesenta, los placeres narcisistas de los setenta y la distopia reaganista de los ochenta.Ademas, ofrece cronicas de sus infames recitales publicos, reseñas de su propia obra, desternillantes entregas de su columna en la prensa y otras joyas recien descubiertas. Y tambien tiene cabida el otro Bukowski: un critico literario astuto y excenitrico, desde su propio "Manifiesto" hasta sus idiosincrasicas valoraciones de Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley...

Heinrich Karl Bukowski (Andernach, Germany, August 16, 1920-San Pedro, Los Angeles, March 9, 1994), known as (Henry) Charles Bukowski, was a writer of short stories, a novelist, and a poet born in Germany, representative of dirty realism and considered a "cursed poet" due to his excessive alcoholism, poverty, and bohemian lifestyle

The literary work of Bukowski is strongly influenced by the atmosphere of the city of Los Angeles, where he spent most of his life. Today, he is considered one of the most influential writers of American literature and one of the symbols of "dirty realism" and independent literature

Bukowski wrote books in various genres, such as: diaries, stories, novels, poems, essays, and even wrote Barfly, a film screenplay based on his alter ego Henry Chinaski, directed by French filmmaker Barbet Schroeder, a film in which he made a cameo in a bar. He compiled this experience in a book of stories, Hollywood (1989)
