Opening with the exotic Lady Death entering
the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Cèline, this
novel demonstrates Charles Bukowski's own brand of humor and realism, opening
up a landscape of seamy Los Angeles.
Nicky Belane, private detective and career
alcoholic, is a troubled man. He is plagued not just by broads, booze, lack of
cash and a raging ego, but also by the surreal jobs he’s hired to do. Not only
does he have to track down French classical author Cèline – who’s meant to be
dead – but he also supposed to find the elusive Red Sparrow – which may or may
not be real.
Packed with wit, invention and Bukowski’s
trademark lowlife adventures, it is the final novel by one of the most
enjoyable and influential cult writers of the last century.
