Charles Bukowski lived in the US, more specifically, in L.A's suburb. He worked in many jobs, because he didn't stay much time on them. He worked enough to earn money to pay for drinks and cheap rooms. He was an unsociable man, he didn't like people. He thought that they were boring and false. He wasn't a handsome man. Since when he was a boy, he had scars on his face and this fact caused marks on his soul. The only partners that he liked were books and beers. He smoked a lot too. Althoug he seemed a rude man, he wasn't. When I read his books, I can feel tenderness.
"I never thought of myself as a loner. I like to be by myself. I am the best way to entertainment that I can find." Charles Bukowski
