Thank you both so much.
And I dig that scene from Factotum, too.
Also - could someone please tell me which collection "Chopin Bukowski" is in? Thanks.

there's a great search function on this site.
look at the top left hand corner of this page, click works database, type the title you're looking for in the search box and viola!
but it's in Love Is A Dog From Hell. ;)
seriously, the database search is very cool and handy.

He had special fondness for Bruckner. He compared himself to him as the unappreciated never exactly hitting that 'home run.'
However although he liked Brahms, on the occasion he would accuse him of plagiarizing from Beethoven.
Bruckner's Fourth is wonderful Symphony, check it out.

Robert Sandarg did several analyses on this subject.
he literally counted every mentioning of any classical composer in Buks work.
of course he also looked for the context, since Buk also mentioned composers he disliked (e.g. Vivaldi).
very interesting pieces. maybe i'll scan his first article on this and post here.

You are great. I woke up with this horrible head cold and found that. Thank you. I took a quick look and read 10 attachments non stop. I will read the last 17 when I regain my senses.

found this while looking for information on bukowski and depression:
THE CLASSICAL BUK by Robert Sandarg (originally printed in Sure, the Charles Bukowski Newsletter 1991)

The article vodka has posted is very similar to the Robert Sandarg article roni posted in another thread. It does point out a certain fondness for Shostakovich a Soviet Modern Composer, but I think he liked Wagner quite a bit too.
Mozart.
Mozart.
cool find.
looks like this was an earlier version of the later 1999 article in the yearbook.
