According to some people on amazon.com, Bohumil Hrabal is the Czech Bukowski. Can anyone tell me if this is true? Has anyone ever heard of him?

Hello, Does anyone know the contact e-mail address for Hustler magazine in the United States, or any other "men's interest" magazine, and submission guidlines? I have a few stories I would like to sell, and their website gives no information that I can find. Apparently there are...

Apparently I am supposed to write an introduction, and say hello. So, here it is. I am unemployed, and "Don't Try" to write. I am interested in only making enough money from writing to live off. I first came across Hank when I was listening to the radio. The movie show had a review of...
