The following note accompanied Charles Bukowski's first
published story, in the March-April 1944 issue of Story :
Charles Bukowski was born in Andernach, Germany in
1920. His father was California-born, of Polish parentage,
and served with the American Army of Occupation in the
Rhineland, where he met the auchor's mother. He was
brought to America at the age of two. He attended Los
Angeles City College for a couple of years and in the two and
one-half years since then he has been a clerk in the
postoffice, a stockroom boy for Sears Roebuck, a truck-
loader nights in a bakery. He is currently working as a
package-wrapper and box-filler in the cellar of a ladies'
sportswear shop.
In Bukowski's 1975 novel Factotum , he describes the
experience of his frst publication (calling Story 's Whit
Burnett "Clay Gladmore"): "Gladmore returned many of my
things with personal rejections. True, most of them weren't
very long but they did seem kind and they were very
encouraging...So I kept him busy with four or five stories a
week." On the subject of his first sale, Bukowski wrote, "I
got up from the chair still holding my acceptance slip. MY
FIRST. Never had the world looked so good, so full of
promise." Upon seeing the story in print, however,
Bukowski's joy disappeared. "Aftermath" had been placed
in the end notes, and he felt Burnett had published it only as
a curiosity. Feeling humiliated, Bukowski never again
submitted anything to Story .
