Shadoboxing With Bukoski [Paperback]

Shadowboxing with Bukowski is the tragicomic tale of Nicholas Kastinovich, a young bookseller who struggles to keep his bookstore afloat in the harbor town of San Pedro, CA, where the infamous Charles Bukowski dwells. Ostracized by fellow business owners, pushed to the edge by many things, not least of which is the curmudgeonly ghost of the former owner, the intrepid book lover fights the noble battle against mediocrity and apathy.
