Dirty realism published in Spain

Thanks.

I´ve read most of the writers you noted down, except Iceberg Slim.

Respect spanish writer in this style, there´s a poet I like much: David
González. He was in prision for a while and there he started to write poems.
He´s in the stile of Bukowski. Another writer, some years ago very famous,
is Miguel Ángel Mañas. His first novel was Historias del Cronen. Another
writer is Ray Loriga, but more in the style of Kerouc, whom he likes a lot.
We have a spanish web of Bukowski ran by another writer, Sergi Puertas. The
link is: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/5855/main.html" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/5855/main.html</a>
He had there two novels of John Fante because he was out of catalogue. Now
Anagrama has published them.

You might want to give Benjamin Weissman and T.G. Fleming a try.
They're both a little on the surreal side, but dirty as they get.

Here's a T.G. Fleming link:
