He sold the books in 1965 to the University of California at Santa Barbara for $50,000 - which in todays terms is $510,261.90 It was a tidy sum.

Probably have not changed. Language is a big factor.

From time to time, this documentary is chatted about: "Charles Bukowski" - East Hollywood 1976 A film by Thomas Schmitt and Alexandra von Graeve Thomas Schmitt / WDR (West German Broadcasting) / 1976 / 52 Min. There are bits of it in "Born into this" and excerpts from it are everywhere, but...

Locked in the arms of a crazy life by Howard Sounes https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50461.Charles_Bukowski But as to insight in to the writer, I like Scarlett by Pamela Miller- lot of involvement from a few key members of this Forum really makes this book interesting...

If you like Bukowksi you may like the novels of JM Coetzee, particularly 'Disgrac' and "The life and times of Michael K" Very different writing styles but similar themes: struggle, just not fitting into the system, all that kinda stuff.

'whisper' 'breeze' 'rustle' are words he never used much in writing
