im just now getting into reading and collecting, and one thing i was wondering is what is the symbolism/story behind the boxer graphic on Bukowski's tombstone. this is a great forum from what i can tell and i appreciate any help on this one.
Ha. Had I known that I wouldn't have let the domain lapse a couple months ago. Oh well, another dead link in the billions of dead links in print. [I have that domain again, so the link is not dead.]mjp, in the back of duval's book are a list of internet sites dedicated to b. one is www.mjptv.com/writers/bukowski
Interesting quote though, since the image on the marker is not a "pair of boxing gloves," but a boxer with his fists up, ready for a fight.
what stands out most to me when I think about it, is that interview when he says..."what they used to call me in the bars was a good dooker. that's the ultimate compliment."
