CHAPTER 1Don’t TryCharles Bukowski was an alcoholic, a womanizer, a chronic gambler, alout, a cheapskate, a deadbeat, and on his worst days, a poet. He’s probablythe last person on earth you would ever look to for life advice or expect tosee in any sort of self-help book.Which is why he’s the perfect place to start.Bukowski wanted to be a writer. But for decades his work was rejectedby almost every magazine, newspaper, journal, agent, and publisher hesubmitted to. His work was horrible, they said. Crude. Disgusting. Depraved.And as the stacks of rejection slips piled up, the weight of his failures pushedhim deep into an alcohol-fueled depression that would follow him for mostof his life.Bukowski had a day job as a letter-filer at a post office. He got paid shitmoney and spent most of it on booze. He gambled away the rest at theracetrack. At night, he would drink alone and sometimes hammer out poetryon his beat-up old typewriter. Often, he’d wake up on the floor, havingpassed out the night before.Thirty years went by like this, most of it a meaningless blur of alcohol,drugs, gambling, and prostitutes. Then, when Bukowski was fifty, after alifetime of failure and self-loathing, an editor at a small independentpublishing house took a strange interest in him. The editor couldn’t offerBukowski much money or much promise of sales. But he had a weirdaffection for the drunk loser, so he decided to take a chance on him. It wasthe first real shot Bukowski had ever gotten, and, he realized, probably theonly one he would ever get. Bukowski wrote back to the editor: “I have oneof two choices—stay in the post office and go crazy . . . or stay out here andplay at writer and starve. I have decided to starve.”
