History of ordinary madness. Bukovsky Ch.

Charles Bukovsky - a cult American writer of the 20th century, whose European popularity has always overtook the American popularity (in Germany one, the lifetime circulation of his books exceeded two million), the author of more than forty books, including novels, poems, essays and stories. Despite the sometimes shocking naturalism, its texts are full of lyricalness, even a kind of sentimentality. Bukovsky is rightfully considered a short form, and his classic collection of “History of ordinary madness” is a vivid confirmation of this: bringing his branded possession of a word to incredible perfection, Bukovsky conducts his lyrical hero - a womanizer and a drunkard, a clear alter of the author of the author - in all circles - in all circles. modern hell. It is based on this book that the famous Italian director Marco Ferreri set the film of the same name (in the main roles of Ben Gazzara, Ornella Muti), awarded the Fipression Awards at the Film Festival in San Sebastian and the David Di Donatello awards in several categories at once.
