He gives us little vignettes of depravity and lasciviousness, bite sized pieces of what is both beautiful and grotesque.\nThe stories in Hot Water Music dash around the worst parts of town – a motel room stinking of sick, a decrepit apartment housing a perpetually arguing couple, a bar tended by a skeleton – and depict the darkest parts of human existence. Bukowski talks simply and profoundly about the underbelly of the working class without raising judgement.\nIn the way he writes about sex, relationships, writing, and inebriation, Bukowski sets the bar for irreverent art – his work inhabits the basest part of the mind and the most extreme absurdity of the everyday.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0876855966\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0876855966.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bukowski, Charles\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
