Charles Bukowski's Scarlet
It began as a whim an impulsive meeting between the iconic Charles Bukowski and his famed muse, Pamela Cupcakes Wood that would lead to a two-year relationship that Wood chronicles in this straightforward memoir. Her story is refreshingly blunt as she details their often ridiculous, yet charming relationship. This is a Bukowski enthusiast's dream a total immersion into his life with the independent and spirited Scarlet, the woman he wrote about in the book of the same name, plus many poems. She appears as Tammie in Bukowski's book Women. Who is Scarlet? What was the powerful chemistry between Bukowski and the woman whose identity intrigued so many? Written with engaging wit, this is an insightful, honest recollection of their life together: loving, humorous, complicated and, at times, outrageous. We see Buk as a gifted, flawed man and glimpse his simmering violence when under the influence of alcohol, yet we appreciate him for his deeply sensitive and compassionate underlying nature.
