What does taking out the garbage mean? Does it mean he worked as a sanitation employee? I need to know this because I'm commenting this poem. It's a really interesting one, since he ridicules his father for "being a practical man" (the ending makes it clear) and he mocks him by naming the poem...

It's going pretty damn well! I've written 25 pages already. I'm not even half way, but it's going in the right direction, I still have a month to finish it and I'm not taking days off, so it should go well. Once again, thanks for your help, I was stuck as hell and I really needed it.

Dora, So far, one of my conlcusions is that Bukowski has a tendency towards self-compassion, what do you think? The last lines in Bluebird ("and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?") shows that he needs to be understood, that he needs of approval, in a way. I'll...

Hello everyone, thanks for your help and your good intentions, which I appreciate above everything. I didn't explain myself, I have read Ham on Rye, Factotum, Postman, Women, Pulp, South of No North and a compilation of some of his short stories... I think it was called Notes of a dirty old...

Hello. I registered in these forums a long time ago, but I haven't posted much, so I guess I have to reintroduce myself. My name's Bruno, I'm from Barcelona and I read Ham on Rye when I was 7 or 8. I understood most of it and I loved it. I was really interested in Bukowski throughout my life...

1 . Ham on Rye (I may have missed that "A-ha Effect", but as I said in my first post, I read it at the age of eight, therefore how could I know that, I just started reading and found out my interest went higher as I kept on doing so). 2 . Factotum 3 . Post Office 4 . Women 5 . Septuagenary Stew...

What about "Would you allow this guy to look after your 4-year-old daughter"?

Apologies accepted, I wasn't even bothered by your message.

Book --> The Neon Bible, by J.K. Toole CD--> Two singles. I've been listening to Anything goes,performed by Cole Porter, and Maybe, by the InkSpots.

Mmm... I don't own the book, but you may be right, perhaps it said she put it all (the cock) inside her mouth, but in Spanish it said she put "todo" which can mean all or everything. That may have caused a missunderstanding

I'll never forget the page 100, when one of his friends, I think that one who was called Harry, was in a car, and a girl was sucking his cock, even his balls. I was absolutely amazed.

Ask the Dust, by John Fante is a great book. The Neon Bible was written by J.K. Toole, who wrote A confederacy of dunces, and it's a very good novel, in spite of being written at the age of 15. I'd recommend you to read a Spanish book, but I don't know if it has ever been translated into...

The librarian recommended it to my mum, who wanted a funny book. She started reading it, and noticed there was another bookmark. Of course she thought my dad had started reading, then she asked him if he had done so, but his answer was no. She could barely believe it was me the one who was...

Hi everyone. My name's Bruno, I'm from Barcelona, in Spain, and I'm a student aged 15 who started reading Bukowski's books at the age of 8. I read Ham on Rye, and I loved it, although I didn't know what some things meant (I read it in Spanish, but I was just a little, innocent boy) and some...
