Linda King Book Release Party at Beat Museum
- Thread starter Rekrab
- Start date
Strangely I am reminded of Gene Hackman's warehouse/stronghold from the movie Enemy of The State. :eek:
That does make sense if you REALLY think about it. I like both Basquiat and Willem de Kooning, no matter the HUGE differences.
To me Matt's work reminds me more of a certain revival of the COBRA wave.
For instance; check out, Karel Appel.
But I must say, the COBRA paintings are often more abstract.

I think you got that impression from the Mr. Potato head sitting up on the shelf.
It looks like the birthplace of many great poems.
hey, man! who allowed you to post pics from my place!?

I produced an event at the Beat Museum last October. It's a decent venue, and Jerry Cimino and his small staff are very accomodating.

Thanks for the welcome. No scotch but sometimes Jerry will throw in a couple of large bottles of Gallo from Broadway Liquors next door.

Okay, I have to break down and buy a copy before they disappear. It's not just that I'm a cheapskate, but my family has been very needy financially lately and Linda King's book can't compete with a tank of gas or a bag of groceries. I'll just do it anyway, like some compulsive person.
at least, a book will last, while a bag of groceries is gone so Fast!
Is the Bukowski bust going to be there?

Just bought. Paypal didn't give me the option to pay for shipping, so could only pay the $20... anyone else experience this?

Sorted, just sent shipping separately. Looking forward to it. G.

True, the King book will last longer than the groceries or the gas. I've never regretted buying a book I wanted but couldn't afford, and I've usually regretted selling a book I really liked but needed the money for groceries etc. Face it, books are just about the best thing around. I'll pull the trigger on it this weekend. Sounds like maybe the signed edition is already gone? That simplifies my decision to go ahead and buy this anyway, even though I'm bleeding cash lately.

The deed is done. I bought the signed edition because Paypal wouldn't allow me to add shipping for the unsigned. Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
Nice paintings. I imagine the book won't stay in print long given the cost of color printing.
So apparently, Linda's big, long time in the works book about Bukowski is not Bukowski Undigested -- is that correct?
At City Lights Books the last time I was in SF I bought a great broadside by Linda King, about Bukowski, signed, for $5. The staff was very accomodating and found a large cardboard envelop for me to protect it in as I walked around all day with it in my backpack.

I don't think this is her memoir, no. As I recall that is titled, Loving and Hating Bukowski. It may never come out. She (or whoever sells the Bukowski head sculptures) had some blurb in the last eBay auction about it being made into a MAJOR HOLLYWOOD MOVIE WITH BIG NAME ACTORS. So maybe they'll do the movie first, then the book. Um hmm.

Got my copy of Linda King's new book today, lucky #13 out of 300. It doesn't say if that's 300 signed copies, or the total edition. I'm about 1/4th the way through it and enjoying it. Strong, honest poems, all of them about her relationship with Bukowski. She doesn't pull any punches. As a close up view of the man from someone who knew him intimately, this is an invaluable document. Great color illustrations by Matt Sesow on almost every page. They really suit the work -- a nice matching up of talents.
