Charles Bukowski Quote - On His Column "Notes of a Dirty Old Man"

"I don't think the stories are dirty. when they lean to sex, and many of them do, I believe that sex is a very tragic and a very laughable matter - see Boccaccio, The Decameron. we are all so ludicrous and lousy with our miserable sex organs. I hope that if you read these stories, you will understand, not misunderstand the intent."

-Charles Bukowski, February, 1969
