Despite being one of the most influential, revered, and talked about American writers of the 20th century, few critics have bothered to take Charles Bukowski seriously as a writer. Praise has been muted and any analysis of his writing has either been superficial, hostile or conspicuous by its absense. Until now.In this challenging and perceptive collection of essays, never before published in Britain, Russell Harrison puts the writing of legendary barfly Bukowski under the microscope to help readers gain a better understanding of the great man's work.Divided into two sections - essays on his poetry and then his fiction - Against the American Dream digs deep beneath the surface of Bukowski's writing, citing his key influences, and paying particular heed to Bukowski's complex relationship with labour, class and women.
