The Night Torn Mad With Footsteps by Charles Bukowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bukowski, the raving mad poet of the west coast, most popular with young men with little experience with reading poetry in the 1970s and 1980s. I surprised myself while reading this as I'm also reading a collection of stories by Sherman Alexie and, except for the details, they could have been written by the same man. Or at least a writer with an identical voice. Both men seem to have studied writing at the feet of Hemingway. Although both men have a much better sense of humor than Papa did.

Oh, and Bukowski was still publishing into this century. Even though he died in 1994.
