We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take in the canonical locations of his life and myth: the Postal Annex Terminal where he gathered the material for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Post Office,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the De Longpre apartment where he briefly experimented with marriage and fatherhood, one of his favorite bars and liquor stores, and many other spots. Along the way, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll explore the people and ideas that made up the warp and weft of Buk\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rich inner life. This Esotouric bus adventure is hosted by Richard Schave.<\/p>\n<p>The tour spans Bukowski&#8217;s personal city, from Skid Row to once-genteel Crown Hill, to Bukowski&#8217;s favorite East Hollywood liquor store, the Pink Elephant.<\/p>\n<p>Esotouric has made its name with true crime bus tours (Black Dahlia, Pasadena Confidential) and explorations of literary LA (Raymond Chandler, John Fante, James M. Cain). Now they turn their creative attentions to Bukowski, the prolific poet, novelist and screenwriter whose rough-hewn tales of boozing, wild women and rotten jobs never obscure the deep vein of sweetness and hope that runs through all his work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1357\" data-postid=\"1357\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1357 themify_builder\">\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;[This tour is] a poetic journey full of rare insight into the life of a man who&#8217;s come to represent the ghettoized contingency of the City of Angels.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d &#8211; Tanja M.
