Towards the end of the seventies, although Bukowski was not well known in his own country, the great Hank already had a cult following in Europe. In 1978 he set off on a tour that began in Paris, which would be fuelled by rivers of alcohol and threatened by scandal. Bukowski, who travelled with Linda Lee, his young girlfriend, turned up drunk to the Apostrophes, a TV show, and after touching another guests legs, ended up insulting the presenter and storming off stage. This is a diary of a unique journey, told with his usual style of brutal sincerity, and accompanied by Michael Montforts beautiful photographs.
