Perfect!!! Thanks so much! As others have said, the full eleven pages would be awesome, but I'm thrilled to be able to cite this quote from the original source. Thanks again! Martha

Oh, awesome. If I could prevail upon you to mail photocopies (or scan and email, whichever's easier) of the essay in question (if you find it, that is...) that would be fantastic. Thanks! No kidding, that would take forever! Perhaps one day... but not likely, I guess.

Okay, so I found Sounes' site and email and figured that before I email him and look like a moron because I haven't checked things carefully enough, I re-read the notes to that chapter to make sure I hadn't missed anything. In them he writes, "Bukowski's quotes about being beaten are from the...

Perfect, thanks.

Good God, wouldn't that be amazing? I may end up having to just source it out of Sounes if I can't get further than that, but I'd really rather not, if only for the sake of the next me who goes searching and gets all mad that someone didn't cover their tracks well enough. I'm trying to be...

Sounds interesting--is it available anywhere? I've paged through most of the theses and dissertations I found on ProQuest, but I don't recall seeing that one there. I'm always interested to see what other people are doing...

I may end up having to do that also. I'd really like to track down the original, though. What was your thesis on?

Deciding what to include and what to exclude was pretty painful--I had initially planned to use poetry as well, but ended up having to scrap it. I don't want to do a study that breezes over a bunch of different things; I want to be able to look in detail at the works I discuss so in order to...

That's what I thought at first, too, but I didn't find it the last time I re-read it...

Hi, guys, This might be really irritating, but hopefully someone will recognise this... I'm working on a thesis about constructs of masculinity in Post Office, Factotum, Women, and Ham on Rye and I'm going out of my mind trying to source a quote that I want to use. I've found it in a few...

women is my favourite bukowski book on earth--i'm actually almost through it for the millionth time right now. i've just finished reading post office, factotum, ham on rye, and now women again all in a three-week period and to me women is in a totally different league than the other three. i...

this question wasn't for me but i'll answer it anyway--canada day! it was july 1. i guess it's comparable to the US's independence day, it marks the day that canada became self-governing. i'm in california now, but i'm originally from montreal (not too far from you, i guess, black swan). i...

okay, so that's hilarious. and tempting. (am moderately afraid of the ice cream flavours, though...)

i really like the interview, too, but i'm not so taken with the first half of the book...

haha i guess that's possible! m*
