Pulp

1994réf. 024020Santa Rosa: Black Sparrow Press 1994. First Edition. Octavo. Limited to 750 copies. The present copy is #326 and signed by Bukowski with his little dog as well on the page following the title page. 202 pp. This would be Bukowski's last work before his death. Unlike Bukowski's earlier autobiographical novels Pulp is deliberately over-the-top. It mixes absurd humor cheap-paperback tropes and existential melancholy reading like a spoof of detective stories and a self-aware meditation on mortality. Beneath the jokes and surreal twists is a sense that Bukowski is saying goodbye - to literature to his alter egos and to his readers. A fine bright copy bound in red pictorial paper covered boards backed in black cloth spine label red and lettered in black red endpapers in its original clear acetate dust jacket.
