Description: Santa Barbara: Black Sparrow Press, 1994. First Edition. 202 pp. Hardcover: NEAR FINE. Dust Wrapper: NEAR FINE. Issued without Dust Wrapper. Book shows modest shelf wear along edges of boards; bumping to upper right corners. SIGNED by the author. In Pulp, Bukowski demonstrates his particular brand of humor with a tongue-in-cheek detective yarn set in a seamy Los Angeles landscape; readers will appreciate the author s signature wit and world weariness. The dedication says "To bad writing" which, like the title, is a nod to pulp fiction, and an excellent addition to the genre.

Description: One of 750 signed/numbered hardcover copies, octavo size, 208 pp., signed by Bukowski. Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was "a prolific underground writer who used his poetry and prose to depict the depravity of urban life and the downtrodden in American society. A cult hero, Bukowski relied on experience, emotion, and imagination in his work, using direct language and violent and sexual imagery" (n.b., from the web site of the Poetry Foundation). As much as he achieved popular acclaim during his lifetime, his reputation and following have only increased after his death. This volume, "Pulp" would be the Bukowski's final novel, completed shortly before his death. It "comments on the obsessions of the pulp fiction genre, making fun of itself as stereotypical of the genre in the grimiest form.Bukowski wrote some of his most violent, cynical, sarcastic, and shocking work during the final months of his life. Many critics have agreed this novel exemplifies Bukowski showing an acceptance of his own pending mortality" (n.b., quote from Wiki). ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter bound in black cloth over decorated paper boards, red paper spine label with black lettering, red endpapers, title page in red and black, signed on a tipped-in sheet following the copyright page by Bukowski in black felt-tip, this number 344 of 750 signed/numbered copies (there were also 326 deluxe copies with artwork by Bukowski and an unnumbered hardcover trade edition); octavo size (9.25" by 6.26"), pagination: [1-8 plus the tipped-in sheet with Bukowski's signature] 9-202 [1, colophon] [1, blank] [1, black and white photograph of Bukowski] [1, author bio].
