Henry Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920 – March 9, 1994) was a poet, novelist, and short story writer. He was born in Germany and his family moved to mid-city Los Angeles in 1931. His childhood home is just 2 miles from our store. He and his family lived in that home in mid-city Los Angeles from the time he was 11 years old, through his junior high and high school years, and when he wrote his first short story in 1935 and when he was first published in 1940.
