«Contes de la folie ordinaire» is a collection of short stories by Charles Bukowski, published by France Loisirs in 1982, in hardback (264 pages, in French).
The volume brings together stories that portray everyday misery, sexism, violence and the feelings of the most marginalised characters. Bukowski applies a raw, direct style, without embellishing reality: he tells what others prefer to hide and, as Jean-François Bizot noted, that is why reading him is uncomfortable and universal.
For readers of contemporary American fiction interested in dirty realism and characters on the fringes of society.
Henry Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles. Bukowski's work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work.
