I cavalli, la boxe, le donne, le sbornie colossali e le interminabili giornate al bar sullo sfondo di un’America povera ed emarginata.

Ce recueil de nouvelles relate les années d'errance de Bukowski - ou de ses avatars - à travers l'Amérique des marginaux. À la faveur d'anecdotes sulfureuses, de bars louches en chambres d'hôtels minables, il décrit sans concession l'existence d'êtres surnageant dans l'alcool et la pauvreté, non sans offrir à son lecteur un regard visionnaire empreint d'une réelle poésie. Dans cet univers cru, sans cérémonie sociale, l'amour, l'affection et l'amitié se fraient pourtant un chemin.
