Chris Walter

Chris Walter (born August 16, 1959 in Regina , Saskatchewan ) is a Canadian writer and founder of the independent book publisher "Gofuckyerself Press". He lives in Vancouver , British Columbia .

Chris Walter, who was a drug addict for more than twenty years, describes life on the streets and in dark backyards of the Canadian West Coast metropolis in his works and portrays “punks, drunks, junkies and hookers” with black humor . The leading punk rock magazine Maximumrocknroll compares Walter with Charles Bukowski (who has his birthday on the same day) and calls his short story collection "Shouts from the Gutter" "further proof that Walter is one of the leading underground authors".

Walter's books have not yet been translated into German.
