Stories of Ordinary Madness

Charles Bukowski is a cult American writer of the 20th century, whose popularity in Europe has always outpaced that in America.
Despite the sometimes shocking naturalism, his texts are full of lyricism, even a peculiar sentimentality. Bukowski is rightly considered a... master of the short form, and his classic collection "Stories of Ordinary Madness" is a vivid confirmation of this: bringing his signature command of language to incredible perfection, Bukowski leads his lyrical hero—a womanizer and a drunkard, a clear alter ego of the author—through all the circles of modern hell.
It was based on this book that the famous Italian director Marco Ferreri filmed the eponymous movie, starring Ben Gazzara and Ornella Muti, which won the FIPRESCI prize at the San Sebastián Film Festival and the "David di Donatello" awards in several categories.
