In the background of a scene taking place in 1991. Not too accurate huh.

Love is a Dog From Hell?

I discovered Buk in my late teens, and now at 35, I find myself revisiting the poetry and short stories more than the novels. The Novels hooked me, but the other stuff keeps me. I appreciate the humor more than I did at first.

The one that still makes me laugh out loud is from the story, "The Great Zen Wedding" when someone asks him why he is wearing a tie. "The top of the zipper on my pants is broken. And my shorts are too tight. End of necktie covers stinkhairs just above my cock."

A college roommate made me read Post Office when I was 20 or so, and I was an immediate obsessive. Went through all the novels first before getting into the poetry, and now at 34 I can finally say I have read all that I could get my hands on. Can't wait for the new one in February.

I really like a lot of the horse racing stuff. "Horsemeat" is a personal favorite, and I love the one about finding a wallet in the crapper. Or the one about the guy with no arms taking a long time to place his bet. Am I correct in understanding though, that all of the "On....." series is...

I'm just trying to keep my collection straight and up to date here, I just picked up "The Bell Tolls...." and want to make sure. Did I miss anything from "Absence of the Hero" and that? Are there more unpublished ones in the pipeline? Are they previously unpublished or just uncollected...

that's the one, thanks. I've had a hard time trying to get my hands on that series.

It's one of the live reads in the movie, about taking a crap at the track and dropping his wallet in the toilet, can't remember the title or what collection it is in.

Thanks for all the info, can't say how glad I am to have stumbled across this site the other day. Work productivity in a steep decline.

So are there more Ecco publications on the horizon without Martin as editor? It is good to know that there are still some "new" ones out there for me, as I don't think I have all of the City Lights stuff yet.

Damn. This is all news to me and it is depressing. I first read "South of No North" when I was in college and was immediately hooked. Went back and read everything more or less chronologically over the last 15 years or so and I was always excited to get my hands on a collection I hadn't read...

Thanks, I'm new to the forums here and only yesterday read everything about the edits in the posthumous editions, it is fascinating and troubling. When you say grain of salt, do you mean just for the usage of middle class, or for the poem as a whole?

Ahh, yes, many thanks. I was pulling my hair out yesterday, and not that having to go through my entire collection to find it would have been a bad thing, but it would have taken a good while. Thanks again.

I know I have it in my collection but can't for the life of me remember the name or book it comes from. It has a short simple title, and deals with how the white American male is the last group you can make fun of.
