Thanks mjp Got the book the other day in the post - very much appreciated. The cover (softcover, UK) has grown on me since having the book in my hands.

Hey Would love to bag a copy if one is still going. Thanks!!! bmcg

Thanks mjp, appreciate the advice, was taking a punt, fingers crossed and that but am aware that the value of anything is only how much folk are willing to pay for it. Am open to offers on either or both items from anyone here! Cheers. Hey, thanks Bill!

Crucifix comes with two flyers, one fine print with a hand written signed note to a customer from John Webb. Have this on ebay but anyone here interested for (US) 350 for the book and ephemera it's yours - we can work out P&P after. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks everyone. I have...

Top of my head Douglas Goodwin (worth hunting down) Dan Fante's kissed by a fat waitress Fred Voss Tony O'Neill's Songs From the Shooting Gallery

Thanks for the mention Hosh. Yeah the book has been a little while in coming but I hope you find it worth the wait. Really all congrats to David at Sunnyoutside for a sterling job, he made the process a joy to be a part of and that cover! Just sets the whole book off I think. Jesus Jersey...

As surprised as Matthew Simmons With 'Looking For Eric' getting plenty of press I came across this little titbit: "In 2002 Cantona made his directing debut with a short, Bring Me Your Love/Apporte-Moi Ton Amour, based on a Charles Bukowski story." Anyone seen it?

Bill. Would also be interested in Proud Beggars by Albert Cossery. Cheers. Brian.

Hi Bill. Any Paul Bowles, I'd be interested. Off post but I wish you the best in regard the job and of course many congrats on your good news. Dont know how you get the time to fit it all in.

Omega Man/Corrington An extra on the DVD I have has an interview with Corrington's wife discussing the screenplay- so I take it that he and I believe she wrote it.

I have a very soft spot for the "Bukowski Goes Belfast' t-shirt. Aside from the fact Belfast is where I live, the t-shirt was given to me by my best man during his speech at my wedding. Also the guy who produced the shirt is a good friend. It was topped of by them having En Vino Veritas printed...

A few pics etc of a working press in Ireland. The press pictured is an 1830 Hopkinson's Improved Albion Letterpress. One of the more recent pics depicts the serious dangers inherent in typesetting with a friend when both of you are hungover. http://tenpointdesign.com/tenpointpress.htm...

Livid. Cant type anymore.

Billy Childish has been mentioned above but deserves mentioning again. Then there's Dan Fante, Tony O'Neill and Karl Koweski - sunnyoutside.com for his latest - and Owen Roberts (who has posted here but haven't seen in a while) think our own Bill from BOS may be working with him on something...

The only Lawrence book that I have read is Sons and Lovers - sorry roni I don't recall a scene with a man playing a piano in it - I am incredible glad I did, I would recommend this book to anyone - the descriptions of the abuse faced by the family from the alcoholic patriarch I feel would have...

Hi I am the proud owner of a soft back Septuagenarian Stew that is signed on the front cover (across the top of the book) - it was obtained through a particular channel via someone who had an arrangement with Bukowski to get books signed - it may just have been one of his things to sign...

Bill On the off chance you come across Michael Lally It's Not Nostalgia: Poetry & Prose Wanda Coleman Bathwater Wine Diane Wakoski Emerald Ice: Selected Poems 1962-1987 Paul Bowles Collected Stories. in that box and are willing to part with them, I may be interested.

Love the old what are you reading threads, usually end up putting something on my "to read list'. I have just started Seizure Wet Dreams by Tony O'Neill, liking it very much. Read his first novel Digging the Vein which I thought was excellent - came to him via quote by Dan Fante - one of the...

Hi Bill Can you let me know if the poem is still available from your good self. Thanks!

I agree with mjp - in fact I think Dan Fante is a great writer, with very much his own style. In other interviews he has stated that he thought Bukowski was a poet rather than a novelist, or certainly a better poet than novelist. As for disagreeing with Bukowski's own truth - embellished...

The Pawnbroker ok - didn't get to see it all but what I did see certainly got me interested - had just finished the book (Brilliant) and lo and behold Film 4 have it on - was a bit late at night so I recorded it - dvd I used must have been faulty, gave up half way though doubt Film 4 will...

Believed Bukowski also mentioned British poet Stephen Spender on a few occasions - cant point to anything specific now but would put money on it.

Excellent thread - love a wee list now and again. Richard Yates. Harry Crews. John O'Hara. Hemingway. Celine. Carson McCullers. Dostoevsky. Palahniuk (for Fight Club). Knut Hamsun. Kevin Canty. Dan Fante and his Da. Charles Willeford (not the Moseley novels) John Horne Burns (for...

Classic - Any Bono joke is a good joke.
