Abstract

American literature is one of the prominent literature schools, fields or clusters in the world. As a matter of fact, American literature has a widespread influence relying on its economic, political, and military power all over the world. An important part of this power lies with the huge scope of America cinema, media, and other cultural instruments. Charles Bukowski is the most important figure of this literature field. Bukowski, on the one hand, has been opposed to this literature and the very factors that power it, that’s to say to the idea of ‘American Dream’, and on the other hand, he has inadvertently benefited from that power. Bukowski, who has enlarged the limits of the literature, is the last pioneer deserving an examination.
