Many happy returns, Gerard!

I can't recommend a specific publisher, but if your local library has a copy of the Novel & Short Story Writer's Market, and/or the most recent Writer's Market, you'll find plenty of publishers in there.

I checked abebooks.com, and there's a used copy for sale there for $5.55. Shipping is $3.99 if you're in the US.

Any of the French speakers read Bukowski ou les Contes de la Violence Ordinaire by Alexandre Thiltges? It came out in 2007. I've only seen a preview on Google books- looks like half bio, half lit crit.

Trivia: Remember the older, white haired guy to Buk's left in the Apostrophes video? The one he touches on the head on his way out, half trying to keep his balance, half giving some kind of benediction? That was Gaston Ferdiére, one of Artaud's shrinks. Artaud was . I read Cendrar's...

Yep, picked and stayed on the wrong side, right to the end. : Someone reads from first bit of Voyage, while a painter named "Ibara" does a portrait of Céline.

I wonder if Buk would have liked the Brecht & Weill's Threepenny Opera, especially the song What Keeps Mankind Alive: Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance In keeping its humanity repressed And for once you must try not to shriek the facts Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts [This...

Can't think of one song that sums me up, but as requiems go, I like

Roni's got it. They also pissed off Buk by bringing up Henry Miller. It was all down hill from there... Pivot: The French critics compare you to Henry Miller, they say you're bit of a successor. Does that please you? Buk: No, let's just forget all that. Go on to the other guests. Still trying...

Somebody posted a video of not long ago. That's not the one you're talking about, is it? I don't really know what to make of it... Therapist: Sit down, you are out of the frame. Buk: The grave does not have a frame.

Yeah, is it prose or verse baby?

Messy Translation, Part 3 of 3 (see above for Roni's comments on the content - journalism is like a sausage - better not to see how it's made) Rumour has it that the 35 year old Bukowski still stopped for a drink after being treated for a nearly fatal bleeding ulcer, to cope with the shock...

Shit, I remember when Uncle Vince used to do the traffic reports for CFNY, I mean, 102.1. Any other Toronto Bukowski freakazoids remember him talking about congestion on the "Humber hump", followed by the trademark "ta ta ta tah"... mmm.... probably not.

I remember, Petey, and I am forever in your debt for turning me on to him!

Cliff Claven trivia: In Quebec, if you want to swear, just say the word for ciborium (ciboire) in a loud voice. Same with host (ostie), chalice (callisse), and tabernacle (tabarnak). will show you how it's done.

Something of interest to the German speakers - writer Clemens Meyer blogs about his visit to the Bukowski Tavern.

Down & Dirty Translation, Part 2 of 3 In more than 60 books, most of which were volumes of poetry, Bukowski described his experiences on the fringe of American society. He reported laconically on the nightmare side of the American Way of Life; drinking antics, opportunistic sex and the daily...

Congratulations, Roni! I've taken the liberty of starting a very quick, very sloppy translation. Here's the first part. It's no great shakes, but you get what you pay for. More to follow later if people are interested... ------- Sex, Booze and the Depths of Literature Part 1 of 3 An...

In the summer of 1992 I met a guy in a bar who was carrying around a copy of the Roominghouse Madrigals. From what I remember I don't think he was really interested in Buk- it was more of a prop, a fashion accessory. But I liked the poems. So the next time I went to the library I took out a copy.

It's a magical place. I love the sound the bottles make when they hit the chicken wire. I feel warm and at home. Fulfilled, even.
