Bukowski Stories

Guy Ritchie 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 Guy Ritchie, Trainspotting, and Emir Kusturica's dark humor - unfiltered storytelling, Balkan style. Note: This book contains explicit language and profanity!

Quotes and Poems that really hit me.

Bukowski, un escritor de la realidad humana. Escritor maldito.

"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.

Every week I will look for a postcard with an image on it and force myself to write a story that correlates with that photograph, small enough to fit on a postcard. You can find all the stories on my instagram @Boojorii . Today's postcard has a photograph on it made by Swiss photographer Stefan Rappo. I picked up this postcard on my trip to Paris where I visited the Centre Pompidou. It reminded me of a poem by Charles Bukowski called 'Hell is a Lonely place'. If you liked the photograph as much as I did, he has a new photography book out called 'TEZZ'.

Good night, sweet little motherfucker - Charles Bukowski

My not polished poems saying it like it is. Giving you my honest interpretation of the world because I am too good for the world and the world doesn't deserve me!
