Published by Random House, this is a 1991 hardcover copy of Neeli Cherkovsk’s biography, Hank: The Life of Charles Bukowski.
This copy is inscribed, dated and signed by Gypsy Lou Webb, cofounder of LouJon Press. At the time she lived in a nursing home in Slidell, Louisiana,
With Charles Bukowski, as with many autobiographical writers, one gets curious to see what his life was really like and how the stories and poems relate to it chronologically. In this case the question is also, "Does Bukowski live up to the myth surrounding him?"
Addressing this question in his biography, Cherkovski reproduces many favorite poems and little fragments of prose and then analyzes them insightfully in relation to the writer's life. Cherkovski was a good friend of Bukowski during the late Sixties, and his tales of their exploits together are both humorous and cringy to read.
This copy is in near fine condition with a couple of hand-written notes. It is protected by a clear jacket.

I've been collecting books for decades, and am totally in awe of some of the offerings from The Buk Shop. Plus, the owner, Mike, cares how we finicky collectors feel about perfection. A place to visit if you have any interest in Hank Bukowski. Paul

From the communication to the careful packaging and surprises, I am impressed with the service of this independent shop in the Carolinas. This is the place for a budding or wise Buk collector.
