This, I believe, is called satire.

Black and white -- and your iconic work is included!

The Silver Birch Press Bukowski Anthology will be available by the end of August 2013 (I'll post the exact date as soon as I have one!).

Not a New Yorker -- though I love NYC. From Chicago, now living in L.A. Thanks for reminding me of the great episode where Ralph and Norton are handcuffed together in upper and lower bunks on the train to the Raccoon Convention. And the greatest punchline of all time: "Got a match?"...

Your view of editing and publishing and mine seem to differ. Yes, these days, anyone can "do it themselves" -- and should! But if they want to do it right, they will hire a book designer (big bucks), and a copy editor (more big bucks). This is what traditional publishing and editing is all about...
