    Who are you to say I have no interest in him? When did I say it would ever stand out? I write my books for me, not for smug, bitter pessimistic naysayers like you. I ought to write it now just on principal you jackass. I'll take anything you want to trade me. email me at...

    Galley copy of Absence of the Hero

    No,I have read many books, I dont own them at the moment, I want to acquire some again which is the original reason for this post. I want to trade my galley of Absence for some reading copies of books. If it's been done, then I won't bother. However, I haven't seen any biographies of Buk that...

    I am interested in writing a critical biography of Bukowski

    I am interested in writing a critical biography of Bukowski

    Not sure of the approach as of yet . . . what HASN'T been done? That's one critereria for considering this project. I have a cpl of reputable publishers interested, but I do not want to tread on ground already trampled to death by others.

    I am interested in writing a critical biography of Bukowski

    I am interested in writing a critical biography of Bukowski. Any thoughts on this? I plan on exploring more of his written output than the life, though I do realize that at most times the two are irrevocably entwined. Thanks, Paul
