The Continual Condition is a collection of never-before-published poems by the inimitable Bukowski--raw, tough, odes to alcohol, women, work, and despair by a rebel author equally adept at poetry and prose. Charles Bukowski lives on in The Continual Condition, a godsend for admirers of his previous collections Slouching Toward Nirvana, The Pleasures of the Damned, and Love is a Dog From Hell, as well as his novels Factotum, Ham on Rye, and Pulp.This final collection delivers the raw, uncut Bukowski experience:Dirty Realism: Unflinching poems that find the profound in the profane--from racetrack bars and dead-end jobs to the strange, savage beauty of a city that never sleeps.The Barfly Poet Laureate: Searing, personal odes to alcohol, women, and the Sisyphean struggle of the artist, all told with Bukowski's signature blend of weary cynicism and dark humor.Unpublished Works: A treasure trove for longtime fans and new readers alike, featuring poems written in his final years that have never before seen the light of day.Counterculture Voice: The raw, unapologetic spirit that made him an icon, cutting through the noise with brutal honesty and a middle finger to convention.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/06/177/121/006177121X_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "18.00", "online_price" : "18.00", "our_price" : "18.00", "club_price" : "18.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
