Tales of Ordinary Madness
Screenplay by Sergio Amidei, Marco Ferreri, & Anthony Foutz. Adapted from the stories of Charles Bukowksi.
Signed by Bukowski on the front cover.
Nuova Stampa: 1981. Bound in card stock wrappers. Quarto. Smudges on the covers and small tears along the edges of the wraps. A faded stamp beside Bukowski's signature. A few dots of staining on the pages but otherwise clean. 78 pages. Very good. Signed.
Set in Bukowski's LA of grime, the French-Italian production of this screenplay wove together stories, lines, and moments from The Most Beautiful Woman in Town and Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and Tales of Ordinary Madness into one dramatic arc. The beloved Hank put on screen is now its own subgenre, and tales of on set buddyboying and drinking have their own canon. That makes this a signed trophy for the truly devoted Bukowski pervert.

I have seen dogs with more style than men

cats have it with abundance"
