I even learned two words! Because I’ve never heard of the German translation either… Also, my imagination fails - who needs such a thing…??

Sadly, the vast majority of the back alley either agreed to that or kept silence. Great to hear from you again, Pogue.

The Crunch or Dinosauria,We would be my focus poem. Both of them are among Bukowski‘s best works, and both of them comment on society. Something for the touts and Another Academy also come to my mind.

If that tendency continues you will hit the 1Million$ mark in about 30 years...

It seems to be in a good condition - compared with the one you shot through...

Sorry for the brevity. In the database you have access to a lot of manuscripts from that collection, and the manuscripts usually differ from the collected versions. Having said that, I‘ve never read Bone Palace, so I don‘t know how painful the changes are.

In Bone Palace Ballet you only get the bones. The meat had been ripped off.

The one at the bottom middle is great.

Not if you consider both related. Height of literary success is a strange and abstract term, the title of the thread is just an imitation of the mentioned article. But I still don‘t know what these words are supposed to mean, maybe something monetarily. Therefore the career/craft question...

“...in 1981 when he was at the height of his literary success.“

Mind and Nature. Thought I was clever and ordered this in German. But it didn‘t help. The text is teeming with technical terms and confusing descriptions and alligations. I am halfway through now, and only every 20 pages a glimpse of understanding touches my poor brain. But these are the moments...

Once I found a copy on a train, left on a seat by someone. I read it in one go, and it left me thinking for some time. The content is highly topical, more than ever before.

If you want to know some basics and look at some pictures there is Howard Sounes‘ Locked In The Arms Of A Crazy Life. But if you‘re just happy with his writing, why bother?

Great idea, Johannes.
