i doubt that pleasants view could be impartial given the evidence so well presented i'm impressed by your resources and knowledge

...So it might be a bad joke, but still is a joke. It doesn't make him a Nazi. It doesn't mean anything at all. and one more thing on Pleasants: he obviously has a complex due to his own Jewish descent! ("For me, being part Jewish had been a problem. [...] most of the neighborhood kids...

This dickhead was also not able to wrote the first name in the right way!

I think Linda and him are waving to their pal Ben Pleasants.

...King has said some years ago. She said: "I would not believe ANYTHING that any of these two says about the other." - and she knew Buk AND Pleasants back in the times when they were 'friends' as well as after the split up. - Pleasants' inaccuracy with facts shows all over his book...

It's a sort of poetic justice that a half-assed hack like Ben Pleasants who wrote a book about Bukowski purely out of jealousy will only be remembered for the book he wrote about Bukowski.

Unfortunately I am in a big lack of time these weeks, but maybe I could flip through my own annotations I made inside Pleasants book and look for some arguments you could use. What's your deadline?

...Eli "Baldy" LaCrosse died about 20 years ago. Do you really think that I'm an old pal of Buk's? My "Baldy" information comes mostly from Pleasants' absurd memoir. If the real Mullinax is still alive and posting here, that would be like having St. Peter rapping about J.C.! "Baldy" - Show...

This is a LA Times review dated Nov. 29, 1970. That was a different Pleasants, wasn't it? We -the scanner and I- wonder why ;)

more on Patchen: https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=2793 and you don't want to miss the latest on Bukowski by Pleasants... almost 40 years ago! https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=2794

Wow, Pleasants is out of his fucking mind. Thanks for that though, because now I can see where he got the "Nazi" Label, seeing that he feels free to accuse Bukowski of "homicide" and "manslaughter" based on Rexroth's statement. It's his own exaggeration and invention. "All this I got on...

I don't intend to read his latest chapbook, so maybe you could elaborate? Either way, Pleasants is sounding like a bigger and bigger cock-head every day. There... no he can sue me! How the fuck can a jew living in this time label any contemporary a nazi anyway? With what Israel dishes...

The owner and maybe Pleasants too, should be sued for defamation!

Pleasants will be pleased by that. If you read his latest chapbook on Rexroth, Bukowski and Patchen -published by Beat Scene- you'll know what I'm talking bout.

Ive read Pleasants 'Viscalrel Bukowski' and it is a pretty fascinating read. but of course why is he so indignent that Buk was a Nazi. I cannot understand why he would go to such great lengths. He did know Buk pretty well

I think the author of the laweekly.com article must have seen that too...

They married him to Linda King in the article. Nice. For a little idea of what the real wife Linda thought of Pleasants' book: http://laharbor.blogspot.com/2005/04/envy-is-dog-from-hell.html Edit: D'oh! I see they covered Linda's note on page two of the article.

Buk a nazi? What a farce! The owner is grasping at straws. I can see Pleasants and the owner leading a demonstration caring big banners saying Bukowski Was A Nazi...:D

I see Pleasants is gonna make a lot of new friends now.

There's really no need to set about discrediting Ben Pleasants. Refer to the obvious precedents mentioned above; Prominent "Owners" of other human beings: George Washington Thomas Jefferson Prominent Nazi Supporters; Henry Ford Charles Lindburgh It's a sound argument against using...

...look up the # of that chapter and post here for Hindinwood to find the reference? It's these two sources that say it all. On the Pleasants-claims: When Linda King was in Germany she was asked about those accusations. (she knew Hank and Pleasants at the times before they split up.)...

oh Jesus.... Seriously though. They were made in the Ben Pleasants book "visceral Bukowski" and probably from an internet article before that. I believe that it has also been brought up in some of the biographies. There are two sides on this one. Either he was a Nazi sympathizer (which...

Hi, He was interviewed recently by Ben Pleasants. According to Ben, Steve is not in very good health. He has no internet, and all correspondence goes through a friend of his. That's all that I know. I have never had any contact with him. I know that Cirerita has, though. BIll

Pleasants mixed up John and Dan in that article...:D

I guess he didn't read John Fante after all. That is unless I'm the one that's crazy.
