we're proud to publish a lengthy excerpt from cirerita's dissertation on bukowski as the newest chapbook from chance press. the book, titled Too Powerful a Thing to Reject: Charles Bukowski's Transition Years, 1945-1957, chronicles Bukowski's little-known and frequently misunderstood years of obscurity in the 1950's and his eventual transition to literary acceptance in the 60's and beyond.
the book is pretty much required reading for any bukowski fan, as there's stuff in here that has been buried by history and will be new information to even the most ardent bukowski reader, including the names of stories bukowski submitted for publication during his so-called "ten year drunk," and reactions from editors to whom buk submitted his work during the mid-to-late 1950's. everyone on this forum knows the amount of time abel has spent researching bukowski, and this book represents a tiny sliver of what he has uncovered... so, if you like bukowski, you really have no reason NOT to buy this book!
it is available in a trade edition for $7, a signed trade edition for $14, and a hardcover for $28. we expect the hardcovers to go quickly, so if you want one, don't wait! you can send paypal to chance.press.books@gmail.com or buy directly from www.chancepress.com/buy-books.
