In 1969, an offer came to hell.
"Quit your job, and I'll give you $100 a month for the rest of your life."
The offer came from John Martin, publisher and founder of Black Sparrow Press. Charles Bukowski - still an unknown writer - had spent his last decade at a "soul-wrenching" post office job.
He wanted out.
In a letter at the time, Bukowski wrote:
"I have one of two choices - stay in the post office and go crazy... or stay out here and play at writer and starve. I have decided to starve."
