Neither entry of the 2 listed issues of this book here are accurate. Both are miscredited to Charles Bukowski as Author. In no particular order, 1) please note the publication date. It is YEARS after Bukowski died (& years after he got ill to the point where he could no longer write such books even before he died). Bukowski wrote about himself, yes, but within a character -- not as Bukowski. 2) More importantly, the accurate author is not credited at all despite the fact that he wrote this book over 25 years ago - well known - & his name is on the cover. GERALD LOCKLIN is the only author of Charles Bukowski: A Sure Bet. Gerry was Buk's favorite living LA-area writer & he stated many times he felt Gerry was the best writer in LA. They were great, longtime friends. Many people wrote bio-type books, trying to cash in, but few were as qualified to write something about Buk as Gerry.

| October 11, 2021 | Edited by qbitsof | Changed the wrong author the book is attributed to to the correct one, Gerald Locklin. Bukowski is the subject (not author) of the book. Added OCLC/WorldCat Identifier. Added publication location, number of pages and correct title (under "Known by any other title?"). The title and author are wrong and need to be corrected in order for the book/entry to be accurate. Wrote commentary in Description field. |
