Love Is a Dog from Hell -- Charles Bukowski

<p><strong>A classic in the Bukowski poetry canon, <em> Love Is a Dog from Hell</em> is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love.</strong></p><p>A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a "passionate madman." Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love--its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power.</p><p>there is a loneliness in this world so great</p><p>that you can see it in the slow movement of</p><p>the hands of a clock.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles Bukowski<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ecco Press<br><b>Published:</b> 05/31/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 312<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.72lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.99h x 5.93w x 0.81d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780876853627
