图书描述

"It began as a mistake." By middle age, Henry Chinaski has lost more than twelve years of his life to the U.S. Postal Service. In a world where his three true, bitter pleasures are women, booze, and racetrack betting, he somehow drags his hangover out of bed every dawn to lug waterlogged mailbags up mud-soaked mountains, outsmart vicious guard dogs, and pray to survive the day-to-day trials of sadistic bosses and certifiable coworkers. This classic 1971 novel—the one that catapulted its author to national fame—is the perfect introduction to the grimly hysterical world of legendary writer, poet, and Dirty Old Man Charles Bukowski and his fictional alter ego, Chinaski.

著者简介

Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Biography

During the course of his long, prolific literary career, Charles Bukowski was known as a poet, novelist, short story writer, and journalist. But it is as a cult figure, an "honorary beat" who chronicled his notorious lifestyle in raw, unflinching poetry and prose, that he is best remembered. Born in the aftermath of World War I to a German mother and an American serviceman of German descent, he was brought to the U.S. at the age of three and raised in Los Angeles. By all accounts, his childhood was lonely and unhappy: His father beat him regularly, and he suffered from debilitating shyness and a severely disfiguring case of acne. By his own admission, he underwent a brief flirtation with the far right, associating as a teenager with Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. After high school, he attended Los Angeles City College for two years, studying art, literature, and journalism before dropping out.

Although two of his stories were published in small literary magazines while he was still in his early 20s, Bukowski became discouraged by his lack of immediate success and gave up writing for ten years. During this time he drifted around the country, working odd jobs; fraternizing with bums, hustlers, and whores; and drinking so excessively that he nearly died of a bleeding ulcer.

In the late 1950s, Bukowski returned to writing, churning out copious amounts of poetry and prose while supporting himself with mind-numbing clerical work in the post office. Encouraged and mentored by Black Sparrow Press publisher John Martin, he finally quit his job in 1969 to concentrate on writing full time. In 1985, he married his longtime girlfriend Linda Lee Beighle. Together they moved to San Pedro, California, where Bukowski began to live a saner, more stable existence. He continued writing until his death from leukemia in 1994, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Bukowski mined his notorious lifestyle for an oeuvre that was largely autobiographical. In literally thousands of poems, he celebrated the skid row drunks and derelicts of his misspent youth; and, between 1971 and 1989, he penned five novels (Post Office, Factotum, Women, Ham on Rye, and Hollywood) featuring Henry Chinaski, an alcoholic, womanizing, misanthrope he identified as his literary alter ego. (He also wrote the autobiographical screenplay for the 1987 film Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway.) Yet, for all the shock value of his graphic language and violent, unlovely images, Bukowski's writing retains a startling lyricism. Today, years after his death, he remains one of the 20th century's most influential and widely imitated writers.

I have mixed-feelings about this one. Maybe a three-star rating (or three and a half) is better justified but anyways. I don't know. It gives me some laughs (although they're usually kinda "cold") but I'm not sure if I do empathize with the protagonist. Guess I'm really not a hipster.

这些年看惯了潦草的网络译文,换一本书,我不会在意翻译的些许疏漏。但这是查尔斯·布考斯基的《邮差》啊。 人们称布考斯基是“洛杉矶的惠特曼”,“地下世界的桂冠诗人”。对我而言,读《邮差》前,他是位陌生的作者,更新最勤快的输入法都不认识他。在漫不经心地翻看开头几页...

我争取每读一本书都能读到一些什么,但我发现这其实会让人很痛苦,痛苦发生在每次阅读之后。 我希望自己将来能够拥有一种勇气,能够亲手挖出自己心脏。我希望我的心脏可以泡在福尔马林里,但却不知道该把它放在哪。 放在某个老酒鬼的兜里,让他喝多的时候拿来下酒,哈哈哈。 ...

大约十年前,我还是个奔波于泰晤士河畔上课或者打工的留学生,每天很晚才能回到住处,坐在红色的巴士上昏昏欲睡,不知错过站多少次。 中国留学生习惯扎堆住在一起,保持着和国内没有区别的娱乐。这并不完全适合我。当时我不习惯英伦的摩登艺术,质疑自己在国内受到的教育,感觉...
