Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the owner of City Lights Publishers, was one of the first to recognize Bukowski as a short-story writer. He published the collection, which was dedicated to Bukowski's girlfriend, the poet and sculptor Linda King. The stories originally appeared in the underground newspapers Berkeley Barb and Open City, men's magazines including Adam, and in literary reviews, including Nova Express.[2]
