Beginning in 1967, Bukowski wrote the column "Notes of A Dirty Old Man" for the underground newspaper Open City. Perennially drunk, broke and in search of a woman, Bukowski takes on the guise of a wise fool as he ventures through America's seedy lowlife. Peopled by Kerouac, Burroughs and other much less salubrious characters, his exploits provoke humour and despair, whilst highlighting the inherent beauty and futility of life.
Our list is a diverse and far-reaching one. Primarily a non-fiction house, we publish across a broad range of subjects from popular science, humour and biography to health and lifestyle, TV tie-ins, sport and reference. We also publish a small dark-fiction list and series fiction. Our aim is to publish innovative, high-quality and commercial titles that make a difference. We also have a strong and exciting backlist containing names such as Charles Bukowski and Spike Milligan.
