I realize that I'm posting this late in the game,
but I wanted to add my list of "best Buk books"
to check out (in no particular order):
~ Love is a Dog from Hell
~ Sifting Through the Madness
~ Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame
~ Betting on the Muse
~ The Roominghouse Madrigals
~ The Last Night of the Earth Poems
~ The Night Torn Mad With Footsteps
~ Open All Night
Reading pieces from different periods of his life
shows a Bukowski who was way more than the
one-dimensional stereotype that he's too often
characterized as. And even in the post-mortem
books, there's a lot of damned good writing.
:cool:
