Book Review: A Catalog of Ordinary Madness by Abel Debritto
As a bookseller specializing only in Charles Bukowski, I spend a great deal of time cataloging his works for The Buk Shop. This is especially true when it comes to the hundreds of periodicals we carry.
In the beginning, I was fortunate to leverage the Bukowski Forum database for a lot of this information. It was created organically over several years and from that perspective it was also an interesting social experiment. And even though there were errors here and there, it was quite an achievement considering it wasn’t funded or associated with any institution.
Still, as an American History major myself, I often felt that a more scholarly approach was needed. Not because of errors or missing entries, but to add more legitimacy to a very important part of literary history.
So I’m happy (and relieved) to report this has finally happened with the release of Abel Debritto’s new book, A Catalog of Ordinary Madness: A Complete Bio-Bibliography of the Works of Charles Bukowski. Read more.
