I like both old & young. The pics of him older remind me of my grandfather in good & bad ways...a lot.I like the old photos; young Buk.
I read somewhere that Joe Henry the musician grew up & went to high school with Madonna. That's how he met his future wife, M's sister...anyway. They, Joe & Madonna, turned eachother on to Buk's work back in the 70's apparently. So she more than knew who Buk was & is/was a fan.Previously unknown picture of the side of Bukowski's head, 1987.
Taken the same day as the Penn/Madonna pic in the photos section of the site.
It's a miraculous one: the old man got a full wheelbarrow of apples out of that pumpkin patch (?!?) :confused:That's quite some garden, btw.
These WERE mandarines indeed.I thought the caption said mandarines..
You should have learned that long before you tried to badmouth the man (in your very first post in a forum dedicated to him and his work, of all the places.)As I am learning, it seems that Bukowski could be more of a misanthrope in general rather than show a disdain specifically to women.
These appear to be from the Nash collection @cirerita linked to...The back of it states "1964". I looks a bit like being from the same series as these:

My wild guess would be New Orleans.
(to Douglas Blazek, late April 1965, Screams from the Balcony, page 150)word from Nash who also sent a flask Hemingway took a slug from, and now it’s mine, a nice gift, and it will see use, good use
J.R. Nash wrote a nasty piece on Charlie (Bukowski) too.Nash is/was quite a character. He published Bukowski
