This is the journal of author Charles Bukowski which begins in his 71st year. Most of the entries are written in the middle of the night, the hours when the ever-present shadow of mortality is temporarily held at bay.

Description

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”-Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author

“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”-Leonard Cohen, songwriter

A book length collaboration between two underground legends, Charles Bukowski and Robert Crumb. In The Captain is Out to Lunch, Bukowski’s last journals candidly and humorously reveal the events in the writer’s life as death draws inexorably nearer, thereby illuminating our own lives and natures, and to give new meaning to what was once only familiar. Crumb has illustrated the text with 12 full-page drawings and a portrait of Bukowski.
