Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness

Product Information

In a sense, Bukowski was a legend in his time, a madman, a recluse, a lover; tender, vicious; never the same. I read an interview with the widow (cant remember her name), about the meaning of the "dont try" epitaph on his grave. And what about the story about him in the hospital, lying on his death bed and saved in the very last moment by his father who managed to give him a blood transfusion. Bukowski's letters to Pitts, long missing, have recently resurfaced, and provide important new light on Bukowski's low and high points at the moment where his writing career and life went from struggle to success.

He came to the United States with his parents when he was three years old and spent his early years in poverty. The problem would be the weather, the thought of a Scandinavian winter is scary, but the beauty of women would make things up, I just love blonde walkirias.

It looked like every single story was the epilogue of a book that includes drinking, cheating and every known vice.

I remember the reference because it came as a gratiying surprise "during the war jobs were easy to find in America, for other people, that is".When I was young, one of the worst hazards to my young life was nearly choking to death on Bazooka Joe bubblegum. Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness was the first of Bukowski's short story collections to be published, and was released in 1972 by City Lights Publishers.
