Title: Typed Letter, signed, from Charles Bukowski to a fan Author: Bukowski, Charles Place: [Los Angeles] Publisher: Date: 9-25-72 Description: One page Typed Letter, signed. 11x8½". Original envelope included. Bukowski responds to an admirer: "Hello Beth Hodgman: All right, I take it you've been reading ERECTIONS. Thanks for the o.k. on the work. I know I'm not a craftsman, I don't like to fuck with that. But if I gave you some stuff in there that you couldn't get anywhere else, then good. Don't feel bad about 6 inches...it was a takeoff on my wife when she tried to reduce me in more than one way. Some people say I'm anti-femi, but I'm wild about the female, love her, her eyes, the way she walks, the way she loves, the way she goes mad... what she does to me and for me and for herself. I reserve the right, tho, to call a bitch a bitch if she is one. If your life has been painful, then that's standard; believe me, almost all of us get it. Of course, some get dulled-down but who wants to be them? hand in, Buk". The recipient was a part of the San Francisco "beat scene" and good friend of Neal Cassady. Provenance: The Estate of Beth Hodgman. Lot Amendments Condition: Creased, some spotting; very good. Item number: 222614
