“I’m such a spoiled old toad … I was blessed with a crappy life.” — Charles Bukowski in 1993
One afternoon, Bukowski sat down to record the audio version of his classic, Run With the Hunted. The session took place in his home with his wife by his side. These are the outtakes.

I think spending time trying to figure out why we like the writing of this unrepentant dirty old man is a little like trying to figure out why we like the smell of gasoline. I gave up long ago and I still like the smell of gasoline, too.

One of Bukowski’s charms is that he knows who he is. This knowledge frees him to say just about anything.
