Apologies if I have missed a post but what is the history behind these statements or is the writer bearing a grudge-seems to like Pleasants though-quite the smile going http://www.hollywoodinvestigator.com/2007/richmond.htm No one listened but Bukowski. They wrote to each other like lovers...

How about Ben Pleasants? Oh right...you said: Then again, he certainly has "some reputation" around here.

Okay, well, no answer there. Could the evil and notorious Dr. Pleasants be the source? Sadly, no. The liquor store guy is misquoting something.

that's hilarious! (oh, talking of "Hillarious" - how about Buk as the president of the US with a box of cigars he doesn't inhale...?) yeah, Do this! what about: What if Bukowski had passed the draft and was sent to Europe in WWII? (including a drinking-night with Churchill and...

A few ideas: 1. Buk as Hemingway during the running of the bulls, so drunk that somehow he doesn't get trampled 2. Buk as Dostoevski's Raskolnikov 3. My vote: Buk as a Jewish proctologist, removing Ben Pleasants' hemorrhoids.

Hi folks. I might be writing a paper on Bukowski in the near future in regards to Don Pleasants' accusing Bukowski of being an anti-Semite and such. Some material from Buk that I would like to use for that as well as for a paper that I'm writing right now is Buk's tale of being rejected by the...

Too inside for me to figure out. Pleasants I recognize. The other two, I dunno. He didn't have any kind words for the Black Mountain group of poets, Robert Creeley and all. And, he insulted Allen Ginsberg to his face, at a party (after a reading in San Francisco was it?)

Ha ha ha - totally inside, but I laughed my ass off.

Marcos Johnson Valerian Ruminski Ben Pleasants just a guess. . .

Just received a 'pocket book' written by none other than your favourite Bukster - Ben Pleasants. It's called "REXROTH, BUKOWSKI AND THE POLITICS OF LITERATURE", a gossipy memoir consisting of little more than one conversation with Rexroth, who, I imagine, is some sort of big deal in American...

The real MULLINAX, in that PLEASANTS book, is a good source for information about Buk's mom and dad. Also, HEINRICH FETT, in the same book. Yeah, yeah, we can't trust PLEASANTS.

...jailed on a bullshit charge. Pound was fucked in a Kangaroo Court. Thomas was a drunk. None of the three were mincing asswipes, unlike Pleasants who never had the balls to address Bukowski while he was living. Wilde, Pound, Thomas, and Pleasants. Of the four who refused to stand up...

...also, he seems to suggest here that wilde's actions somehow inform our perception of his writing, but certainly not in a negative way, as Pleasants accusations of Bukowski urge us to reinterpret Buk. This is like questioning whether or not we can enjoy What is the What by Dave Eggers on its...

...as a person. As well, the claims being leveled against Bukowski in this case are beyond ludicrous, and I'm happy you pointed out that Ben Pleasants, although he observed Bukowski's alleged anti-semitism while he was still alive, waited until Bukowski was long gone to publish said claims. My...

Pleasants, who may have been one of those that Bukowski didn't want around, seems to be yet another guy who wishes he had been born with Bukowski's awesome talent. Woot!

Excellent, Buk was innocent of Pleasants's charges but Ezra Pound was a fascist and a collaborator to boot and I regret that he was not executed for treason. Yeah, that's right, he made radio broadcasts for Mussolini. That's not acceptable. I don't know anything about Hamsun and Celine but if...

...I found Steve's first book, Poems (1964 I think) at a museum bookstore and bought it new, have been a fan ever since. I agree with Pleasants' assessment; Steve is America's most important lyric poet since WWII. Insane that City Lights, Black Sparrow Press shunned him. His own worst enemy...

I would even like to beliefe that there ARE such tapes - but wouldn't neccessarily be any proofs for being a real Nazi. We know Buk said a LOT of things when a certain mood moved in. Doesn't proof anything. (if some vicious mind would like to show Bukowski 'liked' Hitler, he could refer to...

Make it easier for him - just provide any "Nazi" tapes. Not transcripts (meaningless), but the actual tapes. I would like to hear some of these things that Bukowski supposedly said only to Ben Pleasants and never to any of the other people in his life.

...my correspondent finally got tired of threatening me. He seems to have stopped. If he shows up on my doorstep and I have to shoot him, I'll let you know how it goes. ;) Then again, he may shoot me first, in which case I bequeath administration of the forum to Benjamin Pleasants. Yay...
