Charles Bukowski

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

Missouri

A classic in the Bukowski poetry canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love.

A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a "passionate madman." Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love--its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power.

"there is a loneliness in this world so great

that you can see it in the slow movement of

the hands of a clock."

Love Is a Dog from Hell

Three books about sci-fi movies, with the two hardcovers being scarce editions. “Caligari’s Children” has no writing except for previous owner name. B&W photos. Light spotting to board top. Some edge wear to DJ (no tears) and 1” crease on inside flap. “They Came From Outer Space” is an anthology of short stories that became major movies (including 2001). B&W photos. No writing, no owner name. Edge wear to DJ (no tears). Both hardcovers seem to be first editions, but perhaps not first printings. “Science Fiction in the Cinema” has faint pencil underlining on several pages. B&W photos. DJ tear on spine top. Please see photos. #bundle #sciencefiction #scifi #movies #horror #bradbury #collectible #firstedition #classics #cultmovies (Shelf 10B)
