He continued writing this column, in one form or another, through the mid-1980s. \u003ci\u003eMore Notes of a Dirty Old Man\u003c\/i\u003e gathers many uncollected gems from the column's 20-year run. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilled with his usual obsessions - sex, booze, gambling - \u003ci\u003eMore\u003c\/i\u003e features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and literature, his tortured, violent relationships with women, and his lurid escapades on the poetry reading circuit. Highlighting his versatility, the book ranges from thinly-veiled autobiography to purely fictional tales of dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians, and down-and-out sports promoters - climaxing with a long, hilarious adventure among French filmmakers, to \"My Friend the Gambler\", based on his experiences making the movie \u003ci\u003eBarfly\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom his lowly days at the post office through his later literary fame, \u003ci\u003eMore\u003c\/i\u003e follows the entire arc of Bukowski's colorful career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOBIE winner Will Patton (\u003ci\u003eRemember the Titans\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Wife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArmageddon\u003c\/i\u003e) recreates Bukowski in his visceral prime, along with every eye-popping character in his life, each adversary, lover, and stranger in a lost city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mandy Starr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063391731952,"sku":"9781543685251","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543685251_p0.jpg?v=1763753286","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543685251","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
