I ranked it 4th in my initial post and I don't think that was fair. It's pretty hard to have a true rank, they're not really comparable. The reason I put it there is simply because the book seems very short, the plot is somewhat limited, to BUK bouncing around jobs, the book seems to pass...
Same here, they like me. I've never understood why. I respect them, it's cool, some get on my nerves sometimes. Whenever I read BUK talking about this, the hairs on my arms stand to attention... "That's me".
YES YES YES. I stopped reading Pulp (maybe I'll finish another time, maybe not...) and I went to the nearest bookstore by my office in SF... They have a ton of City Lights titles! I just started The Most Beautiful Woman... YES! More great BUK prose for me! I am complete again. I Love you all.
Maybe not forums per say, might have been Amazon reviews actually now as I think back. Thank you MJP for the info and links (I will read after work), you are a Bukowski Genius!!!!
I'm so glad I've found this forum. In the world around me no one seems to know Buk, now I know I'm not alone...
Well I don't already know myself, I've just heard and was curious because the titles on the recommended list were all published recently... But I'll go ahead and check out those books and didn't mean to take the thread in that direction.
I'm like 20 chapters into Pulp and I have no idea what's...
Thanks so much for the list. What are your thoughts on what people say about his works that were published/collected after his passing are not as good (I've seen this theme in various forums)?
whats up, I'm new. Just discovered BUK... Also recently learned that my new favorite author passed away, over 20 years ago. Starting the 5th... novel I've read of his 6 available offerings, my first was Women. This is how I rank them so far (may change upon second reading):
1. Women
2. Ham...
