    <![CDATA[<p>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 <em>Run With the Hunted.</em> 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.</p><p>Includes poems and selections from: <em>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;</em> and <em>The Genius of the Crowd </em></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Quite an interesting volume. The editor did a mssterful job of arranging Bukowski's work in a chronological order, so that one gets an interesting look at his life as it unfolds in his work. Bukowski is the work and the work is Bukowski. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Bukowski's always great, whether it's the comic, the serious, or the downright dirty of his work.  This collection encapsulates the quite the range, but my criticism here is one of editing.  There are far too many novel excerpts here - a few is one thing, but they dominate.

    <![CDATA[<p>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 <em>Run With the Hunted.</em> 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.</p><p>Includes poems and selections from: <em>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;</em> and <em>The Genius of the Crowd </em></p>]]>

It is more like he is writing the truth about a drunken, stoned and highly sexed life. The amazing thing is that he lived so long. I could not have survived so much alcohol and unprotected sex.
