His Wife, The Painter (Hearse Broadside No. 1)
Hearse Press, 1960. First Thus. Unknown. Very Good. Item #615683
Signed by author Charles Bukowski at bottom in black ink. This is a rare copy of the 1969 reduced-format facsimile edition, which was bound in as a frontispiece in Dorbin's 'A Bibliography of Charles Bukowski'. This example is one a handful never bound in the bibliography, kept as gifts. This copy was sent by Bukowski to fellow writer Jimmy Pitts, who was an important early correspondent of Bukowski's. Bukowski's letters to Pitts, long missing, have recently resurfaced, and provide important new light on Bukowski's low and high points at the moment where his writing career and life went from struggle to success. His association with Pitts was significant. Measures 4 x 8 inches, text printed in red. Reissue of Krumhansl A2.
