"People come to my door--too many of them really--and knock to tell me Notes of a Dirty Old Man turns them on. A bum off the road brings in a gypsy and his wife and we talk. . . drink half the night. A long distance operator from Newburgh, N.Y. sends me money. She wants me to give up drinking beer and to eat well. I hear from a madman who calls himself 'King Arthur' and lives on Vine Street in Hollywood and wants to help me write my column. A doctor comes to my door: 'I read your column and think I can help you. I used to be a psychiatrist.' I send him away. . ."

Nach eigenen Aussagen war Charles Bukowski "ein alter Schnorrer", der ein paar Storys auf Lager hatte. Seine "Aufzeichnungen eines Außenseiters" sind gesammelte Geschichten, die er für die "Open City", eine in Los Angeles erscheinende Underground-Gazette, schrieb, "die sich mit den Big Boys anlegte" und inzwischen eingegangen ist. Bukowski schreibt böse und zärtlich, obszön und witzig und setzt sich als Betroffener aggressiv und zugleich mit großer Empfindsamkeit mit dem "amerikanischen Albtraum" auseinander.
