Notes of a Dirty Old Man is a collection of articles written by Charles Bukowski for the Open City Press newspaper. His articles ranged from angry rants to calm recollections of events in his life.

When the short stories were collected in a book, they were praised by many of his fans for giving more insight into his life and general life philosophy. It is currently published by City Lights publishing company.
