hi there,
thanks for this excellent buk site, i hope i can bring some good stuff for you as well.
i'm a huge buk fan from brazil. you know he's very popular down here, although his books are obviously better to read in english and not translated to portuguese (some translators seem to try to "improve" on things - no comments...)
i was just thinking about something mjp wrote up there, of two poems with similar stories on them. there's a classic scene on "ham on rye" when chinasky fights with becker on a temple st. small hotel and runs away almost killing a little oriental guy. i found a very similar scene in a short story of his, slighlty different though, but DAMN i can't find it now... it is somewhere... i remember reading it and thinking "hey, i've seen this before"... anyway, i'll be back.
all the best. angus
