OK so I digged out my copy of Jules Smith, and there isn't much about Pulp indeed. There is a chapter called "At the Movie and the Racetrack" which is probably why I thought of Smith in the first place, but it doesn't talk much about detective movies. David Calonne's book is great. Even if you...

Oh shoot, there's no database at all in you university ? Even though I'm of Persian descent (salam!), I've never been to Iran myself. Maybe check the book written by Jules Smith on Bukowski. If I remember correctly, he wrote on Hollywood culture and detective novels at some point in the book...

When you go to your college library, they should be able to show you a database of theses on Bukowski. Ask for a North American database, as there has been a fair number of studies there. To be honest, I don't know what angle you will take, but there's a good chance you'll have to come up with...

This published dissertation was pretty good: http://www.worldcat.org/title/bukowski-ou-les-contes-de-la-violence-ordinaire/oclc/470772342 Oh yes, it's in French :agb:

Thank you MJP, I just typed his name in the search bar and found a lot of threads that I am going to read. But just in case I get lost in all those posts, was everyone certain at the time that his manuscripts were authentic?

Russell Harrison?

Cicerita dud you get this manuscript from the Huntington Library?

Does anyone know where the title comes from?

Actually Saturday, at 2.30 pm.

Thanks to everyone for the answers, it has been super helpful!

Writing quickly as I am at work. Here are the details for my defense: La thèse aura lieu au bâtiment B, rez-de-chaussée, salle René Rémond.Université de Nanterre." I's at the Universite de Nanterre, in the Paris suburbs. You would need to take the RER A. Would be great to have you there!

THAT is super relevant, you know, all those people looking for the "real" Bukowski ;)

Hey Roni, Thank you for your super useful input.:) I was still wondering about something: sometimes it does feel that Bukowski is somewhat posing -especially when drinking from an empty bottle, or those famous profiles pictures. IIRC, he also did not look into the camera most of the time with...

Hi all, As some of you know already, I finished my PhD dissertation on Bukowski (hurray!). In 10 days I will have my defense in Paris, which will last around 4 hours while I'm on a jetlag :emo: I received the preliminary reports, where among other things, I was reproached with not analysing...

I think this article makes some very valid points about Winans' memoirs , especially as to his motivations for writing the book in the first place: http://jacketmagazine.com/26/feast-winan.html
