Well hello there all, and thank you for reading this. I am not a frequent visitor to this site, but I was hoping to get some advice from you guys.
I study literature in The Netherlands, and I have a paper due in about a month where I can discuss the theme of 'the city' in any piece of self-chosen literature.
Since Bukowski was tightly connected to his city L.A., I was thinking of doing the paper on him; either how he represented the city in his novels or in his poetry. I've read all his novels, but not all of his poetry, and here's where you guys come in.
Do you know if Bukowski used the city as a theme in his poems, and, if so, which ones would have to be included in this case?
In the next couple of days I will be browsing the books I have myself for city-related subjects, but I know there are people here who could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
