Haunts of a Dirty Old Man: Charles Bukowski's Los Angeles August 18, 2007

This tour will focus on Bukowski’s great passions: writing, screwing and Los Angeles. We’ll take in the canonical locations of his life and myth: the Postal Annex Terminal where he gathered the material for “Post Office,” his childhood home in Mid-Wilshire where he suffered beatings from his father, the Mariposa Avenue apartment where he briefly experimented with marriage and fatherhood, one of his favorite bars Musso & Frank, and many other spots. Along the way, we’ll explore the people and ideas that made up the warp and weft of Buk’s rich inner life.

This tour debuts in August as part of a five-day gala Bukowski’s Birthday celebration, commencing on 8/15, which would have been his 87th birthday.
