Shadowboxing with Bukowski blurs the line between memoir and fiction. It's the comic saga of a young bookseller who struggles to keep his bookstore afloat in the harbor town of San Pedro, CA, where the infamous Charles Bukowski resides. Pushed to the edge by events beyond his control: his flailing marriage, the curmudgeonly ghost of the former owner, and the community that sees him as an outsider, the intrepid book lover fights the noble battle against mediocrity and apathy while in a moment of desperation his wife enlists Bukowski’s aid.The original title, which was later shorted, was: Shadowboxing With Bukowski, Memoir of a Severed Head.
