Happy 93rd Birthday, Bukowski

Electric Lit is just $7,000 away from our year-end fundraising goal of $35,000! We need to hit this target to get us through the rest of 2025, and balance the budget for 2026. Please give today! DONATE NOW.

Today, Charles Bukowski would be 93 years-old. Given his reputation for vice, one can only imagine how he’d celebrate (and it is really fun to imagine). HarperCollins is celebrating with a whole mess of Bukowski audio books.

You can listen to a little Ham on Rye, narrated by Christian Baskous, below. Find the rest (and more, including discounted eBooks) at the HarperCollins tribute page.
