Trademark Wit and Humor: In addition to its exploration of life’s darker aspects, the collection showcases Bukowski’s trademark wit, humor, and irreverence, balancing the darkness of his stories with moments of levity and insight. Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness was a paperback collection of short stories by Charles Bukowski, first published by City Lights Publishers in 1972.
