    Bands that drop Bukowski's name or reference his work...

    Sad but true. That's why I didn't even translate the lyrics... they're as boring as the rest. The band Bukowski (as well as the Hellfest Festival) is French; I have already quoted them in this thread.

    tales of ordinary madness

    Having always been curious about that movie, I am (at last!) going to watch it thanks to a French festival celebrating (at last!) Bukowski. I liked it too though some scenes made me feel sick. Werner Herzog + Klaus Kinski as Hank's alter ego would have been my "dream team" for a Bukowski...

    Absence of the Hero

    Can one find somewhere here the cover of The Outsider issue #3, with a Bukowski picture on it, about which a "well-known literary figure in England" wrote to Jon Webb: "How dare you run a face like that on your cover?" (cf the text titled The Outsider)?

    Factotum, cardboard suitcase, Hamsun

    And also in several short stories, no? I remember having met it not only in Factotum. For instance very recently in one of the stories of your Absence of the Hero, that I am currently reading.
