Jesus Christ that guy butchered it. If you say Buk enjoyed it,it wasn't the performance,it was the adulation. Buk isn't an idiot, but he's human, and likes an ego stroke as much as anyone.I've read everything 20 times over,and watched everything 20 times over. I have an un healthy obsession with this man,and love him deeply.
@TheMandyPinetown - those who personally knew Bukowski, including his widow, loved the performance given by the actor. Although Buk didn't see this particular performance, he did see performances staged by Joanne Gordon in a similar fashion, and like it so much, he gave her free use of his material.
@freethinkerdangerous - it wasn't that he didn't give anymore interviews, he didn't do anymore live readings - because he really hated doing them. He only did them for the money, and just after the Redondo reading, his income from book sales and movie rights paid the bill - allowing him to work without having to perform.
I saw Catullus yesterday. He was alone, as was I. I was need of some new loafers, he a new pair of slacks it turned out. After he left the store, he crossed the road to fag bar. For the first time in my life, I relunctantly entered a bar during daylight.
If you are a truth seeker, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. The Present will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people. You will see what I mean when you read the first page.
You guys are so damn critical. Let me tell you, Buk personally approved the work of Joanne Gordon before he died. He told her if he liked it, she could use his stuff for free, but if he didn't like it she couldn't use it at all. She rented a hall, hired actors, rehearsed, and then came the big night that Linda and Hank came to see it. His quote, "It's good. It's fucking good - let's go get some beer.
Linda not only asked me to tape the play, but gave permission to include it in the DVD extras.
