Again? I hope I can make it to the symposium, who are the other speakers? Meanwhile David must be half German. edit: His address is in German too?
His wife is German. No, he was talking at the symposium in 2009 together with BlackSwan. At that symposium David was also talking. And then there was a guy from Spain, you can find him here under the name cirerita. Would be nice to see you there. Among other speakers will be Dora, who was talking at the last symposium too and a dermatologist, Prof. Bahmer, talking about Bukowskis skin-deseases.
In order to avoid hijacking the thread about David Calonnes upcoming Bukowski-book (http://bukowski.net/forum/index.php...ical-lives-by-david-calonne.7252/#post-123401) - may the mods please move the last couple of posts from there to here? Thanks!
It's an event organized by the Bukowski-Society, usually around Buks birthday in his town of birth, Andernach (Germany). There are addresses by Bukowski-experts or other people, who have something to say on the subject. This year's program is still in the making, but there will be an address by David Calonne and one by a dermatologist about Buks skin-deseases. Also an address by a girl, who's working on her PhD about Bukowski at the moment - known here as 'Dora'. Other addresses and the usual Saturday-evening-event are not sure yet. You can see a couple of pics from last year's symposium here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.106394689465244.7521.101830106588369
