yeah, this was published in 1940. It's taken from B. Pleasants' Visceral Bukowski. You can read the whole story there. According to Pleasants, the letter to the editor "reads as a short-story", and B said he published another one, but it wasn't "as good".

He signs the letter as Henry Bukowski :cool:

very nice...so wait...."Aftermath..." wasn't his first piece ever published?

well maybe that was his big time hit with story magazine.
 
well that just looks like a letter from some guy at college to a college paper.

not exactly the literarrrrry debut i was expecting when i clicked the ever-so-promising thread link...
