The first beauty in the city. 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 master, and his collection “First Beauty in the City”, which makes up a kind of two -volume with classic “stories of ordinary madness”, is a bright confirmation of this.

Bringing his signature possession of a word to incredible perfection, Bukovsky conducts his lyrical hero-a womanizer and a drunkard, a clear alter ego of the author-in all circles of modern hell.
