{"product_id":"9780143128465","title":"Bukowski in a Sundress : Confessions from a Writing Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A dazzling, edgy, laugh-out-loud memoir from the award-winning poet and novelist that reflects on writing, drinking, dating, and more, Kim Addonizio is used to being exposed. As a writer of provocative poems and stories, she has encountered success along with snark: one critic dismissed her as \"Charles Bukowski in a sundress.\" (\"Why not Walt Whitman in a sparkly tutu?\" she muses.) Now, in this utterly original memoir in essays, she opens up to chronicle the joys and indignities in the life of a writer wandering through middle age. Addonizio vividly captures moments of inspiration at the writing desk (or bed) and adventures on the road--from a champagne-and-vodka-fueled one-night stand at a writing conference to sparsely attended readings at remote Midwestern colleges. Her crackling, unfiltered wit brings colorful life to pieces like \"What Writers Do All Day,\" \"How to Fall for a Younger Man,\" and \"Necrophilia\" (that is, sexual attraction to men who are dead inside). And she turns a tender yet still comiceye to her family: her father, who sparked her love of poetry; her mother, a former tennis champion who struggled through Parkinson's at the end of her life; and her daughter, who at a young age chanced upon some erotica she had written for Penthouse. Atonce intimate and outrageous, Addonizio's memoir radiates all the wit and heartbreak and ever-sexy grittiness that her fans have come to love--and that new readers will not soon forget\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48254791155947,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":49.44,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780143128465-1.jpg?v=1781608078","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780143128465","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
