All,

If you haven't see this yet, you might want to check it out.

I've just added an article that Barbet Schroeder was asked to write for PLAYBOY on Buk. It appeared in the March 2010 issue. Playboy just gave permission to include it on the Barbet Schroeder web site.

"BUKOWSKI: The Legend and the Misunderstandings...THE DIRECTOR OF BARFLY PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE MAN BEHIND THE MYTHS"

Includes a piece by Buk too.

Enjoy.

Thank you. I think I have seen that around here somewhere. Please forgive me for not looking it up and linking to it.

I like this:

One common misconception about him is that
he was one of the Beat poets. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Los Angeles has produced
very few great men; Charles Bukowski is
one of them. A product and chronicler of the
world of the workingman, he was far too shy and
proud to have joined a bohemian movement"”which
he could not have afforded anyway. Instead,
he submerged himself in the working/drinking
class, all while reading authors who had written
honestly about what he, himself, was also
witnessing: Dostoyevsky, Celine, Hemingway,
Knut Ha msun, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, etc.
