Fans of Charles Bukowski can listen to audiobook editions of his work for the first time ever. HarperCollins plans to release eight audiobooks for the late writer’s 93rd birthday. The digital audiobooks will be available on August 13th.
The books include: Post Office, South of No North, Factotum, Women, Ham on Rye, Hot Water Music, Hollywood, and Pulp. Actor and audiobook narrator Christian Baskous will read the books. Ecco publisher Daniel Halpern had this comment:
It would be Bukowski himself reading here, if the technology had advanced quickly enough. But his voice rings clear and deep in these renditions – and from them, the genius of Bukowski flows forth.
