Charles Bukowski - American author
thanks to poptop, today i began reading a beat-up 1960's paperback i'd found some years back: a bio of one frank harris - from the cover, he seemed a larger-than-life character...
i was quite astounded. i read the preface and found some remarkable similiarities between harris and bukowski, or, between their personas...then i came across a quote by harris:
"Christ goes deeper than I do but I have wider experience."
which sent a recognition bell going in the brainpan. is it just me, or is there a striking similiarity to the line in b's poem, notes upon the flaxen aspect: (from Mockingbird)
"Christ got more attention than I did but i went further on less..."
a coincedence...?
was the "very small man in a new york city pawnshop one afternoon" harris?
