  • Summary

  • Author/screenwriter Michael Meloan, a confident of the late writer Bukowski, says this about the story that makes

    up his 136-page novella PINBALL WIZARD: “Young software engineer Ralph Hargraves is buffeted between a

    controlling father, international intrigue in the US defense industry, and an impactful friendship with the writer

    Charles Bukowski. A wild girlfriend also ratchets up the action. And a shamanic physicist introduces a new way

    of thinking. Is Ralph the Pinball Wizard or the pinball? In the end, he must decide. And he does.”

    The New Yorker magazine said this about the iconic LA author-poet, the late Charles Bukowski

    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski): “He became wealthy and famous, a friend of celebrities like

    Sean Penn and Madonna, the subject of biographies and documentaries. In his late poems, his delight in driving a

    BMW and hobnobbing with Norman Mailer is so genuine that it becomes infectious.”
