Poor mans Henry Miller very poor indeed. I can't stand this pretentious politically incorrect looney lefty! He appeals Psuedo intellectual sexist Italian blokes. He's outrageous!
-
No Charles, you starved because you were drinking all the time, not because you were writing. Haha
-
@andywho2002 i can only imagin him getting to heaven and the first thing hed do would be asking where the bar is :)
-
@mitsurugi2651 you don't have to try and school me, I have read the post office, at no point was he forced to return as a fulltimer instead of a fill in. As a full timer, He set up a mock letter box grid in his home to practise sorting faster. Making his 15 year job at the post intrusive to his "downtime", "freedom" which I believe is a big part in which he desliked the 9 to 5 routine.

@unholychunk that was only many years of quitting and being fired many 8 to 5 jobs. and even the post he quit after 3 years and was forced to go back for another 11.
-
couldn't stand to work 8 to 5 yet worked at the post office for 15 years lol

Agreed. I see you point.
It's better than a soap opera, for sure, and much better than autobiographs who keep telling you over 300 pages what a hot riot they are.
Me being a clean drug addict and knowin pretty well the ambient he writes about: I believe it's a better solution to step out of the dirt than to write about it...:)
Nevertheless, this must have been quite shocking for some 'normies'...:)

Bukowski relied on experience, emotion, and imagination in his work, using direct language and violent and sexual imagery.
However, rather than glorifying his life style, I would claim that he satirized the machismo attitude through his routine use of sex, alcohol abuse, and violence. Without trying to make himself look good, Bukowski writes with a nothing-to-lose truthfulness which sets him apart from most other ‘autobiographical’ novelists and poets.
-
@doddelito yes, I did.
But I wouldn't want to read it again.
Western intellectuals glorified him as a revolutionary dropout, but he wrote just what he called - the notes of a dirty old man.
-
@nevernohijab did you actually read his stuff?

Saw the DVD documentary. His wife was there for his final breath. His face was fianally clear . He was at rest. I am sure that when "Hank" met "the great beyond" they would make him comfortable.
