Most of my favorite authors are dead... Which is somewhat depressing... Beside Bukowksi, here's some: HST John Fante Dan Fante (Better short story writer than novel writer, but I still like him) Hubert Selby Kerouac (despite his later works, Dharma Bums and On The Road are two of my...

...for you, you SOB. I finally scraped the money together for it and it was gone! GONE! YOU SUCK! Anyhow, my other favorite authors are John Fante, Hunter Thompson, Hubert Selby, Gloria Naylor, and Toni Morrison. I'm glad to be here and I'll try to post quite a bit. But before I end...

the passing of a great one Not sure about the lines you mention, but one poem about visiting John Fante is called the passing of a great one (from You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense, Black Sparrow Press 1986).

...early short stories) Louis Ferdinand Celine (specifically _Journey_--I don't think Bukowski liked much of his later work, although I do) John Fante (specifically those novels "starring" Arturo Bandini) Knut Hamsun (specifically _Hunger_; incidently, Knut is my favorite writer of fiction)...

Anybody mentioned Celine's "Journey to the end of the night?" Also, Camus "Stranger." Dan Fante is entertaining while reading, but only once around. Unlike Bukowski, unlike John Fante or 'Journey....'

Hi All, The letterpressed broadside from Charles Bukowski titled "the drowning" is now available as part of Bottle 5. This is a letterpressed poem, set in hand-set type and tipped into card covers. The poem itself has not ever had separate publication and has only appeared once, in "The...

...Bukowski's 87th birthday. Stay tuned to www.esotouric.com for much more news about Bukday. Since June 16 sees the debut of our tour of John Fante's Bunker Hill, and Fante and Bukowski are so deeply entwined in the city's literary legacy, we're extending this special, limited time offer...

yes, i would most definitely say John Fante. they kinda go hand in hand.

John Fante, Hunter Thompson, Mark Twain...I could be wrong, but I think anyone who appreciates the absurdity, disappointment with humanity and humor in Bukowski would appreciate these as well.

I first heard of John Fante from Bukowski, so I read 1933 Was A Bad Year because it happened to be the easiest of his books to get when the mood struck me. I think it's a great book, has feeling and is truly hilarious, too. I laughed out loud alot. It's a short novel published after Fante's...

Are you kidding? - John Fante was one of Buk's major literary influences. His most famous book is perhaps "Ask the dust"...

thanks to Bukfan I now have 'Master and Margarita', I also have four novels by John Fante packed into one fat book and 'The Outsider' by Camus. Currently though I'm reading 'Budapest' by Chico Baroque which is proving quite an interesting read. My ears are currently enjoying; Lambchop is...

Bukowski was certainly not inspired by the Civil War or the Civil Rights Movement. History meant nothing to him. He knew nothing and cared less about the Civil War and laughed at the Civil Rights Movement, thinking it a worthless cause for hippies, "leftists" and morons who talked big but lived...

...listed some interesting titles on e-bay, seller name mdb123davis. I've got a nice HC/DJ BSP 12th printing of You Get So Alone Sometimes, John Fante's Dreams From Bunker Hill, 1st BSP Trade HC/DJ (this is the fourth in the Arturo Bandini saga); His son Dan Fante's collected poems: A...

The usual suspects... Fante and Celine, Hamsun (I liked Mysteries best), and Dostoyevsky. Notes from underground is an amazing book, quite possibly the best I've ever read! I heard some mentions of Hesse... he's a fantastic writer. What about Sartre? Always like reading him. I'd put him next to...

...I'd say The Last Night Of The Earth Poems; but I honestly enjoy everything. I used to hate reading and had a terribly hard time finding anything I'd like, until Bukowski. I also plan to read Ask The Dust by John Fante but will probably wait until I have read what I have of Bukowski's stuff.

...with such clarity and honesty.It grabbed me by the throat and held me there. Yes Charles, I'm sure the walls of the L.A. public library trembled that day you took down John Fante's book Ask The Dust, but they also trembled that day I took down Run With The Hunted from the Toronto public...

Vic Chestnutt - "West of Rome" i discovered in the liner notes that the title track was written after he read the John Fante novel.

...if your library has few of B's works, there are such things as inter-library loans. In Sedona, I have access to 23 works by Bukowski and John Fante. All things considered, that's a generous number of writings to choose from. In Europe, some of libraries seem to be more limited in scope, but...
