A recent column by María Luz Crevoisier published in *Lima Gris* has sparked discussion regarding the enduring appeal of author Charles Bukowski. The piece, titled "¿Todos aman a Charles Bukowski?" ("Does Everyone Love Charles Bukowski?"), raises questions about the critical reception, and perhaps the uncritical embrace, of Bukowski’s work. The article’s publication in *Lima Gris*, a media outlet based in Lima, Peru, suggests a locally-focused examination of the writer’s influence. It initiates a conversation about literary taste within Peru and potentially challenges commonly held perceptions of Bukowski’s legacy. The column is prompting readers in Lima to reconsider their views on the controversial author. Further details of Crevoisier’s argument are available on the *Lima Gris* platform.
