*Firstly, check my website out for a free copy instead. Otherwise: The Day I Met Charles Bukowski And Other Stories...: "I realized what I'd thought at first was a man was actually: A very stocky woman with short hair who'd forgotten to shave." Laced with black humor, "The Day I Met Charles Bukowski And Other Stories" brings you a collection of eleven lighthearted short stories that will make you laugh out loud. Exploring the heart of the human condition - wait, you know what? I don't know what that means, the heart of the human condition. I'm going to look it up - hang on a second… … … … I looked it up. According to Wikipedia "The human condition" is "…a very broad topic which has been and continues to be pondered and analyzed from many perspectives, including those of religion, philosophy, history, art, literature, anthropology, psychology, and biology." That sounds like a lot of bull*hit. Whereas in "The Day I Met Charles Bukowski And Other Stories" a man travels back in time so that he can leave his wife. Another battles poor customer service demanding a non-existent product and that he knows doesn't exist. While one man faces the terrible inconvenience of the end of the world. There are other, funnier stories. "Invoice S11034" explores the terse interaction that exists between employer-and-employees, while in "Lunch" the CIA plots against a writer they consider dangerous. And in "The Mars Uncertainty Principle" we explore being an astronaut - by qualifying for the NASA space program in an online course. "The Day I Met Charles Bukowski And Other Stories" - Short, funny and, much like my brother, Atigone Albuquerque, is ready and available... ________________________ Dear Reader, If you enjoy the humor and references often used by writers such as Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, John Irving's earlier stuff, Ken Keysey, JD Salinger, Tom Robbins, Dan Fante, maybe even John Fante, J.G. Ballard, Chuck Palahniuk, Will Self, Dennis Cooper, Martin Amis, Anne Sexton, Jay McInerney and others, if you enjoy funny writers, writers with an edge, writers who are politically incorrect, writers who don't take their literary "masterpieces" too seriously, writers who can laugh at themselves, then this is for you. Thanks for taking the time to read this, Chassis Albuquerque
