This is a place for interchanging information, opinions, ramblings, etc, right? Ok, I need you to help me out on this one, guys. When I started gathering material for the diss. I overlooked this topic -basically because in a diss. you're not allowed to waste your time on the life of the author you're studying, you're supposed to analyze his/her work- , but a year ago or so I thought it could be useful, not as a main topic, but as a supporting topic.
So please rack your brains and come up with anything at all which helps to dispel any Bukowski myth. It doesn't matter if you heard it through the grapevine or you were told by Linda or Martin, or you read it someplace, or you watched it in a movie, or you just know it but you can't remember how did you get that info, or you have an intuition regarding a given myth, etc. Whatever you come up with will do.
Only one thing, though. If you do remember the source, please put it here. And if you don't, just say so.
Ok, let's get to the core of the true Bukowski! I know you love him, some of you maybe even think he's a God of sorts, but sometimes you have to be critical of your idols. And the time has come now. So please fire!
