Charles Bufe, better known as Chaz Bufe, is a contemporary Anarchist author who writes most notably on the problems faced by the modern anarchist movement (as in his pamphlet "Listen, Anarchist!"). He is also known for his aphorisms, collected in his book The American Heretic's Dictionary. The book was inspired by Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary, and in fact Bufe has released an edition, The Devil's Dictionaries which combines quotes from both books. The latter book has been referenced by IslamOnline, recommended by Cape Cod Times and has earned him the title "the Ambrose Bierce of our time" from AlterNet. Bufe is also a musician, and author of An Understandable Guide to Music Theory, now in its third edition. He edited two works on Ricardo Flores Magón — Flores Magón and the Anarchist Vision of Freedom and Dreams of Freedom: A Ricardo Flores Magón Reader — and translated the Spanish language book The History of a Movement by Frank Fernández into English.
