«Nouveaux Contes de La Folie Ordinaire» is a collection of stories by Charles Bukowski, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (315 pages, French).
Stories set on the seamiest side of Los Angeles: prostitutes, drinkers, poets and losers cross paths in vignettes of alcohol, loneliness and violence. Bukowski combines rawness, black humour and unexpected tenderness to portray everyday madness, without moralising or complacency.
Original title: 'Tales of Ordinary Madness'. The work was originally published in 1983; this French paperback edition is from 1999.
For readers who want to discover Bukowski's short fiction, with its blend of dirty realism and black humour.
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.
