"The Killers" is a short story by Charles Bukowski, collected in his 1973 collection South of No North, originally published by John Martin's Black Sparrow Press. The story elucidates Bukowski's publicly acknowledged artistic debt to Ernest Hemingway, the writer who had the most influence on American authors of Bukowski's generation. Set against a gritty urban backdrop, the narrative captures a brief but intense moment of violence and detachment, reflecting Bukowski's minimalist prose and existential themes. With its stark realism and homage to Hemingway’s style, The Killers offers a powerful glimpse into the darker aspects of human behavior and the rawness of everyday life.
