What makes Bukowski so unique?

[Black Swan]

It is very rare almost unique that writer describes all his life in his books.

Hi dragon, at the beginning, I also thought that, what Buk was writing about, was all true.

Inspired by, is more like it. You'll figure it out as you go.

But it feels like it, that is the beauty of it all.

Bon't forget! he is the hero of his own shit. :D
