Bukowski Stories

Charles Bukowski meets Emir Kusturica-Balkan style! A humorous, gritty memoir, How to Find and Lose a Job in the Balkans, follows the chaotic daily life of a young man navigating the turbulent Balkan reality. No matter how hard he tries to find employment, he breathes a sigh of relief every time he loses it. A colorful parade of characters passes through his life, but the only constants are his love for women, booze, and above all, his grandmother. Perfect for fans of Charles Bukowski, John Fante, and dark, unfiltered storytelling. Note: This book contains explicit language and profanity! Copyright © 2026 Zlatan Calminsky. All Rights Reserved.

He lost the job. Lost the woman. Lost whatever used to keep him going. So one night, Artyom gets in his car and drives with no destination in mind. Somewhere on an empty highway, with the fuel light blinking and nowhere left to go, he finds a gas station that doesn't exist on any map. The rule is simple: Lie - and you stay. Tell the truth - and you move forward. Full Tank of Emptiness is a dark, atmospheric road novel about loneliness, bad choices, and the terrifying moment a man realizes he can't keep living the same way anymore.

Somos feitos para amar. E isso deve bastar, certo? Mas, e se alguns questionamentos nos fizessem enxergar opções que nunca sonhamos em nos relacionar? E o que fazer quando o verbo amar passa a ter outras conjugações em nossos corações e mentes? Já dizia o ironicamente amargo romântico Bukowski: "O amor é uma espécie de preconceito. A gente ama o que precisa, ama o que faz sentir bem, ama o que é conveniente. Como pode dizer que ama uma pessoa quando há dez mil outras no mundo que você amaria mais se conhecesse? Mas a gente nunca conhece." A cada verso, uma condição. A cada estrofe, um questionamento. A cada poema, uma reflexão. Amar é aprender. Todas as quartas-feiras.

"What matters most is how well you walk through the fire." ~Charles Bukowski She was gone. I couldn't grasp the fact that I would never see her again. She took my heart with her, to wherever she ended up. I never thought that I'd get close to anyone ever again, let alone love another girl. Not until I met Her.

Au volant du bus, Sacha reconnait Abed à qui il avait envoyé une déclaration d'amour par erreur il y a quelques semaines. Abed est surpris, il lève les sourcils, -Nan... Bien ou quoi ? C'est quoi le message que tu m'as envoyé l'autre fois ? PD va... -Ah ça... Bah j'm suis trompé je_ -Ferme ta gueule ! Sept ans on s'est pas vu putain... Pourquoi t'es habillé comme ça ? -C'est parce que je suis prof. -Hein ? T'as déjà vu un prof habillé comme ça toi ? Comme Sacha n'est jamais invité aux mariages et qu'il se rend pas assez toujours aux enterrements, il trouve des prétextes pour porter des cravates. Abed réfléchit en replaçant ses petites lunettes. Au virage, il tourne son volant géant et reprend, -T'aurais pu faire vachement mieux...
