When Evan Spiegel was just twenty-three, the brash CEO of the social network Snapchat walked away from a billion-dollar offer from Facebook. Was this madness, or genius ? In How to Turn Down a Billion Dollars, Stanford classmate Billy Gallagher recounts the rise of one of Silicon Valley's hottest start-ups, with a juicy insider account packed with the drama and excess of Snapchat's early days. This is the definitive story of its exhilarating ascent - from a frat boy fantasy to a multi-billion dollar start-up that has changed how we communicate forever.
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
ISBN : 9780753513828
This collection of Bukowski's columns for an underground LA newspaper epitomises his style of gritty realism. Writing as himself, or his alter-ego, Henry Chinaski, Bukowski delves into America's lowlife to eulogise life's losers and antiheroes. Packed with violence, women, gambling and booze, Bukowski's semi-autobiographical stories veer between hilarity and despair, as he extols the inherent beauty and futility of life.
Post Office
ISBN : 9780753518168
Henry Chinaski is a low life loser with a hand-to-mouth existence. His menial Post Office day job supports a life of beer, one-night stands and racetracks. Lurid, uncompromising and hilarious, Post Office is a landmark in American literature. Post Office was Charles Bukowski's debut novel, and has sold over a million copies in morethan a dozen languages since its first publication in 1971. Bukowski's Beat Generation writing reflects his tough upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of low life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.
