Henry Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles.

The FBI kept a file on him as a result of his column Notes of a Dirty Old Man in the LA underground newspaper Open City.
