Tales of Ordinary Madness: A Collection of Short Stories by Charles Bukowski
Tales of Ordinary Madness is a book of short stories by American writer Charles Bukowski, first published in 1983 by City Lights Books. The book is a reprint of part 1 of Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness, which was originally published in 1972 by Essex House. The stories in the book are based on Bukowski's own experiences as a poet, alcoholic, gambler, and loner in Los Angeles. They depict the dark, gritty, and sometimes humorous aspects of life in the underbelly of the city.
The book has been praised for its raw and honest style, as well as its blend of high and low culture. Bukowski was inspired by writers such as D.H. Lawrence, Chekhov, and Hemingway, but also incorporated elements of jazz, classical music, and pop culture into his stories. Some of the stories have been adapted into films, such as Tales of Ordinary Madness (1981) directed by Marco Ferreri and starring Ben Gazzara and Ornella Muti.
Tales of Ordinary Madness is available in PDF and EPUB formats for free download from various online sources[^1^] [^2^] [^3^]. However, readers are advised to respect the author's copyright and purchase the book from legitimate publishers if possible.Charles Bukowski: A Brief Biography
Charles Bukowski was born on August 16, 1920, in Andernach, Germany, as Heinrich Karl Bukowski. He was the only child of an American soldier and a German mother. When he was three years old, his family moved to the United States and settled in Los Angeles, where he spent most of his life. He had a difficult childhood, marked by poverty, abuse, and bullying. He started writing poetry at a young age, but also developed a drinking problem that would plague him throughout his life.
Bukowski briefly attended Los Angeles City College from 1939 to 1941, but dropped out and moved to New York City, where he tried to make a living as a writer. He failed to publish any of his work and returned to Los Angeles in 1946. He worked various low-paying jobs, such as dishwasher, truck driver, mail carrier, and factory worker. He also had several relationships with women, some of whom inspired his later writings. He continued to write poetry and fiction, but remained largely unknown until the 1960s.
In 1960, Bukowski met John Martin, the founder of Black Sparrow Press, who offered him a monthly stipend to quit his job and write full-time. Bukowski accepted the offer and began to produce a prolific amount of work, including novels, short stories, poems, and columns for underground newspapers. His first novel, Post Office (1971), was based on his experiences as a mail carrier. His other novels include Factotum (1975), Women (1978), Ham on Rye (1982), and Pulp (1994). His short story collections include Notes of a Dirty Old Man (1969), Tales of Ordinary Madness (1983), and The Most Beautiful Woman in Town (1983). His poetry collections include Flower, Fist and Bestial Wail (1960), The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills (1969), Love Is a Dog from Hell (1977), and The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992).
Bukowski's work is characterized by its use of violent images and graphic language that depict the harsh realities of life in a corrupt and blighted society. He wrote about topics such as alcoholism, sex, gambling, violence, loneliness, and death. He also incorporated elements of humor, irony, and sarcasm into his writings. He was influenced by writers such as D.H. Lawrence, Chekhov, Hemingway, Celine, and Fante. He also admired jazz musicians such as Charlie Parker and classical composers such as Beethoven and Mozart.
Bukowski gained a cult following among readers who appreciated his honesty and authenticity. He also received critical acclaim from some reviewers who recognized his originality and talent. However, he also faced criticism from others who found his work offensive, vulgar, misogynistic, and racist. He was often accused of glorifying or romanticizing his own vices and flaws. He was also involved in several controversies and lawsuits over his writings.
Bukowski died on March 9, 1994, in San Pedro, California, from leukemia. He was buried at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. His gravestone reads: \"Don't Try\", a phrase that he often used to express his philosophy of writing and living. aa16f39245
