Charles Bukowski’s Favorite Los Angeles Locations

Woodcut of author Charles Bukowski. (Artwork by author)

Time Magazine called Charles Bukowski “laureate of the lowlife.” He was a student of the gritty streets who wrote about the shadow side of America. Prostitutes, dingy bars, human cruelty, and lonely trysts. He was a brutal drunk, a misogynist, a self-admitted louse. He was also a prolific writer and a sensitive poet with a twisted sense of humor.
