It surprised me. I thought every civil institution was like a prison for him.
But let's be honest here... Marriage is a prison. I mean, seriously.
(but don't tell my wife, I'll be in solitary for weeks)
Well, isn't that just so perfectly put? Seriously; and well done, Bill. Indeed, it explains a multitude of apparent discrepancies that are not actully such.That it the PERSONA, not the man. This is the same persona that leads people to believe (falsely) that Buk would have been PISSED if he knew that his books were collectible and expensive. [...]
That is the reason that it pisses me off when people say that Bukowski would hate the idea of this forum, or that he would hate this or that.
I mean, has your wife ever said "don't do the dishes? That's a night in the box"
Bukowski is NOT Chinaski -- BUT: Chinaski has a BIG LOT of Bukowski.
Thanks. That's more comprehensible to me than the reference to Chinaski.Perhaps he just changed his mind regarding marriage.
No matter the topic, if you look long enough you can find that Bukowski/Chinaski said two opposite things about it. And is the "real" Bukowski on film? Where is the "real Bukowski" to be found?
