Hello fellow Bukowskinistas! I'm trying to find the source of a Buk passage I read a few years ago. Can't place it on any of his books that I own. The passage concerns the act of writing, and compares it to boxing. If I remember rightly he envisions the typewriter as an opponent that you have to keep hammering at even when defeat becomes desirable. Ultimately you need to lay down the phrase that finishes the story off, like a good hook, and he uses the way Jersey Joe Wolcott put his opponents down as a demonstration of how it should be done. This is all paraphrased from a very unreliable memory, but if it seems at all familiar I'd appreciate your help.
