Focusing on the anti-hero rebel archetype, this analysis delves into Charles Bukowski's literature, highlighting his representations of the outsider experience. It explores the complexities and contradictions in Bukowski's visceral writing, reflecting on his apolitical, gendered, and working-class perspectives. The study situates Bukowski within the broader socio-cultural context of the American beat movement, examining themes like outsiderdom and cult celebrity. By analyzing cultural practices and discourses, it enhances the understanding of counterculture and the beat generation's literary contributions.
