    Bukowski and The Great Depression

    See Even lied about my intent. I don't need clicks from this small demo, I wrote to thank this forum. But as an offshoot got her to craft post 10,000 ( I suspect these bloodless, fey, disordered posts could only come from a bitter menopausal woman, childless, who long ago hit the wall) Now let...

    Bukowski and The Great Depression

    Who would Bukowski Pee on? A deliberate untruth to steer readers from ideas is not ridiculing but LYING and you are a LIAR. Lying is wrong and dull and shame, shame on you. Bukowski despised liars; he would doubtlessly pee on you, and your nearly 10,000 posts.

    Bukowski and The Great Depression

    Now I caught you lying, liar liar. Indeed, readers will learn of Bukowski's deeply influential Depression experience. Which begs the question:how many other bold faced lies have you authored in nearly 10,000 posts? And why has the definition of "Forum"-an open exchange of ideas-not been...

    Bukowski and The Great Depression

    This is where I first found "The Lady In Red" and I thank this site. That propelled an interest into Bukowski's inspiration derived from growing up and coming of age during the Depression. While Steinbeck is the go-to-writer on the subject, I found Bukowski's observations as keen and profound...

    Los Angeles blog

    Quelle Idée! I've considered expanding the blog. Now if you'd like to be my Brooklyn correspondent and continue your penchant for churning out thousands of posts, you're hired. I can double what you're getting paid here and I can organize a (used) bike for you to scoot around Bed Sty. Can you...

    Los Angeles blog

    I've never called myself an American, but more to the point, I never have mentioned the homeless. Ever. Now I recall telling Mordechai Richler sitting beside me at Winnie's that I was off to drive around Nova Scotia. He said to me "they're different there." And so you are indeed.

    Weekly Readings At The Frolic Room

    Alluded, not referred. As we are products of both heredity and environment. It's the clothes that make the man. Progeny of the salt of the Earth can awake, put on the bastard outfit and begin the day intent on cynically critiquing the life all around them, dragging us all into their misery. But...

    Los Angeles blog

    As well I'm glad you're here to share that storied Canadian humour, your Maritime provincial humour at any rate. But understandably not geographically here. It's just every Canuck with an ounce of talent and ambition that is here in Los Angeles.

    Weekly Readings At The Frolic Room

    The Frolic Room, the oldest bar in Hollywood now hosts a Bukowski poetry reading each Monday at 5:20 or so, at 6245 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90028-5310 (323) 462-5890 Now a certain skeptical bastard with an initialized handle will claim I own a piece of the bar, or stock in...

    Los Angeles blog

    You've read that menu more comprehensively than the average rub-a-dub stumbling into the dump. You see no one goes there to eat, and no one eats at the King Eddy who doesn't need to. You see the guys in the flops and welfare hotels aren't allowed a hot plate, and many of the habitués aren't...

    Ciao from Hollywood

    Fellow's name was Holger Sasum, a painter. He had a note from a publisher but it's not clear if he sealed a deal but he left me a document, about a dozen pieces. If you'd like I can post them here. das loch in einer der hallen der fabrik kommen lichter auf uns zu. auf dem boden zeichnet...

    Ciao from Hollywood

    Name is Howie; I'm a journalist and tv producer and hadn't thought much of Bukowski the past two decades, not since college, believing the academics who steered me towards the literary. Then I'm sitting in a cafe in LA and this German cat is writing away and we get to talking and he's...

    Taylor Hackford's Bukowski Documentary On YouTube

    Brilliant job posting this. Hackford knows how to make a doc. Refreshing change from the indifferent video we are bombarded with; selective focus, tight portraits and wonderful editing. I never heard Bukowski's pronounced hubris captured here.

    'The City' in Bukowski's work: advise a student of literature!

    A Plate Glass Window, from Love is A Dog From Hell comes to mind, "dogs and angels are not very different. I often go to this place to eat about 2:30 in the afternoon because al the people who eat there are particularly addled simply glad to be alive and eating baked beans near a...
