Charles Bukowski
Nació 16 August 1920 · Murió 9 March 1994
Henry Charles Bukowski fue un poeta, novelista y autor de cuentos estadounidense. Su obra estuvo muy marcada por la geografía y la atmósfera de Los Ángeles, la ciudad donde creció, y se caracteriza por centrarse en la vida cotidiana de los estadounidenses pobres, el acto de escribir, el alcohol, las relaciones con las mujeres y el agotamiento del trabajo. Autor prolífico, Bukowski escribió miles de poemas, cientos de relatos y seis novelas, llegando a tener más de 60 libros publicados. En 1986, la revista Time lo llamó "laureado de los bajos fondos estadounidenses".

Rooming House Madrigals 1954En inglés “I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead: men without eyes, men without voices; men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions; men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideals.”
p. 24En inglés “People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective. They lose their sense of humor. They become nervous, psychotic bores. They even become killers.”
WomenEn inglés “We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
