Charles Bukowski: "Love is a dog from hell. It comes into the world with its own pain." And: "Love is like the morning mist that disappears as soon as real life appears like the dawn."

▍ The greatest realistic writer in the United States, from wandering and doing odd jobs, post office courier to full-time writing at the age of fifty
With a face as pitted and scarred as a weather-beaten lion, he describes embarrassment, violence, trauma and helplessness in a light tone, and uses extremely colloquial and vulgar language to describe the devastating scene in Los Angeles where he has lived for most of his life. In autobiographical writing, there is no metaphor or falsehood, and all truth cannot escape. His literature comes from his life.

Bukowski believes that work is the only way to appreciate life. When he was in his twenties, he decided to migrate to the United States to escape his abusive father. For ten years, he worked as a dishwasher, warehouse manager, slaughterhouse worker, parking lot security guard, shipyard worker, and truck driver. Driver, biscuit factory worker, gas station attendant, etc., and writing in countless flophouses. At the age of thirty-two, he found a full-time job as a postal carrier. Three years later, he left the job briefly due to chronic alcoholism and gastric ulcer bleeding. During his recuperation, he began to write a lot of poetry. He resumed his job soon after and worked in the post office for eighteen years. At the age of 50, he officially made a living from writing. He was invited to readings and lectures from all walks of life. His legendary life led Hollywood to film his biopic "Barfly". He has published more than 40 books and has been widely praised in Europe. Like a superstar, his works are popular all over the United States to this day.

Grammy Award-winning alternative rock singer Tom Waits once said: "He kept writing, and as he became more popular and more successful, he also wrote about life. All the way from the flooded house to living in In a great house in San Pedro, California, the neighbor plays golf, he has a nice car, and he takes you along on his journey of life." Like a photo album, or a comic, constantly updated.
