Looks like it will be out in April. They are sending review copies out in a week or so.
Absence of the Hero
- Thread starter mjp

I did that for Portions... and never got notified.
That's how I found out. Garrett Caples came along and spread the word.

Do you wonder if they saw your name and thought you were the other guy?

I've preordered my copy in hardcover. I'll... probably be able to afford it (April is the cruelest month after all).

Well, either they changed the cover to black and white (in old school City Lights tradition) or the review copies have a different cover. I assume that the review copies have a different cover, because this one is very pixel-y and crappy in real life.
I've had a sip or two of Bombay Sapphire, so I can't list the contents right now. But the acknowledgements page says only; "to come." So if anyone around here is getting a big-up this time, we'll have to wait until April to find out.
12 page introduction (!) and comprehensive "sources" page. On a cursory flip through it looks like 272 pages of damn fine reading.

"The House of Horrors" essay in March Playboy
A heads-up for anyone interested: One of Bukowski's essays on writing entitled "The House of Horrors" from Absence of the Hero has just been published in the March issue of Playboy.
Sort of cool to finally have Buk in the American issue, since he had appeared frequently in the German and French ones. It's unfortunate however that it appears in the same issue as the rantings of this John Mayer fellow...
