Fante Bukowski Book One -- Fante Bukowski Book Two -- Fante Bukowski Book Three -- 6 Poems by Fante Bukowski -- Visual tributes by various artists.

"From the dive bars of Denver, Colorado, to the seedy motels of Columbus, Ohio, Fante Bukowski has lived a literary tradition as identifiable and essential to American writings as it is currently at odds with contemporary mores: a tradition of toxic masculinity, white privilege, Daddy issues, alcoholism, and narcissism, all in the name of art. This landmark volume compiles the trilogy of works that have preserved Bukowski's legacy--Fante Bukowski, Fante Bukowski Two, and Fante Bukowski Three: A Perfect Failure--as chronicled by acclaimed cartoonist Noah Van Sciver. The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski also puts back into circulation Bukowski's first self-published chapbook, 6 Poems, painstakingly restored for this collection after the entire original print run was destroyed in a motel fire--what few copies were circulated now command collectors prices in the rare books market. Novelist Ryan Boudinot pens a new introduction to this volume as well, which is bookended with a selection of Bukowski "visual tributes" by many notable visual artists who have been influenced by Bukowski's oeuvre"--Back cover.
