It wasn't too long ago. You can read it in my old posts. Bukowski was god. He was a fling that had never flung. Wait, let me explain that. The way I work, the way I keep myself sane, or at least sane enough to keep the lawn tame and the nights possible, is to have a thing that I latch onto...

Two days ago, my grandmother died. According to the Jewish faith, a body must be buried within two days, and the second day is tomorrow. My family wants me to read a poem, but, frankly, I'm afraid I can't really write anything meaningful. So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, right now, while you're...

I know at least two of you, Mjp and Cirieta (forgive my mispelling) have met Linda and Martin and a few other compatriots of the dirty old man. And, if she is telling the truth, Mystery Girl actually met and had some sort of relationship with the great man himself. So, what are they like? How...

I read, online, that essay or whatever the hell it was about Buk being a Nazi, but I don't know if this is true. I read somewhere that during his college years, or right before Factotum, he was part of a pro-Germany club which, since it existed during WW2, was pro-Nazi as well. But apparently...
