Read full description of the books:

Charles Bukoswki, escritor eminentemente autobiográfico, nos cuenta en esta obra otro fragmento de su alter ego Chinaski.
En Cartero describe los doce años en que estuvo empleado en una sórdida oficina de correos de Los Ángeles. El libro termina cuando Chinaski/Bukowski abandona la miserable seguridad de su empleo, a los 49 años, para dedicarse exclusivamente a escribir. Y escribe Cartero, su primera novela.
"Esta hilarante e increíble sátira está destinada a convertirse en un clásico... si es que no lo es ya" (Buffalo Courier Express).
"Las tragedias y aventuras de un irreverente borracho, atrapado en el engranaje de una burocracia desalmada, contadas con una agudeza impasible y amarga: un libro a menudo extraordinariamente divertido y al mismo tiempo triste y profundamente conmovedor" (Die Welt, Hamburgo).
"Un mártir truculento del Sueño Americano" (L'Express, París).
"Un autorretrato triunfalmente descortés del autor como perdedor conflictivo, rebosante de desvergonzado autoescarnio y truculenta vitalidad. Bukowski se revela como un talento genuinamente original, comparable a Céline y Miller" (Dagen Nyheter, Estocolmo).

Read information about the author

Henry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books

Charles Bukowski was the only child of an American soldier and a German mother. At the age of three, he came with his family to the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Los Angeles City College from 1939 to 1941, then left school and moved to New York City to become a writer. His lack of publishing success at this time caused him to give up writing in 1946 and spurred a ten-year stint of heavy drinking. After he developed a bleeding ulcer, he decided to take up writing again. He worked a wide range of jobs to support his writing, including dishwasher, truck driver and loader, mail carrier, guard, gas station attendant, stock boy, warehouse worker, shipping clerk, post office clerk, parking lot attendant, Red Cross orderly, and elevator operator. He also worked in a dog biscuit factory, a slaughterhouse, a cake and cookie factory, and he hung posters in New York City subways.

Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including Pulp (1994), Screams from the Balcony (1993), and The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992).

He died of leukemia in San Pedro on March 9, 1994.
