It is a friendly environment here...and you do a mostly remarkable job at keeping cool...but in fact, I returned here (after about 8 years away) because I was researching Sun Dog Press and came across some Google results which featured some posts/threads here related to Danny Valdez...and he...

And I am sorry for calling you a pretentious jerk. It just rubs me the wrong way when someone---especially a writer---complains about the length of a post or thread. Writing is fun! Why should I limit my fun? Why should I be self conscious about the length of my expressions? I'm a jam-band kind...

MJP said, "In which case you'll probably miss and kill or maim someone else." That's a "Dad" kind of thing to say, isn't it? Talking good sense and all---go shoot some non-living stuff instead of actual sentient beings...Yea, but where's the fun in that, Dad? Speaking of shooting...

I don't know but I sure appreciate seeing & reading this! I enjoyed it like a tasty nibble. Thank you! I also notice his handwriting matches the handwriting on an envelope I own that he addressed to someone in Georgia in 1979. It's the letter "g"....same three "g's" on the envelope...His...

Gentlemen, thank you for your replies. I won't quote them but I will address their salient points. A $1000 camera...I think this endeavor will probably start with a built-in webcam and Skype...That's not ideal but if you wait for the ideal conditions they may never come...I don't have a...

When I move back to the States, this will be one of my first purchases: The ammo will be hollow points. The state I will be moving to allows concealed weapons with no permit required. As for gun control: Psychological assessment and professional training of exact gun to be purchased. Fail...

Sorry for flipping out on gpsupbowl...but honestly, writers who can't stand reading long posts? Why complain about the length? And why say something cunting like "for obvious reasons"? It's terribly impolite & insulting. You are insinuating that the writing was shite---too full of shite for you...

Well aren't we an insulting, insensitive turd, eh? Obvious reasons...yea, uh-huh.... Why offer any comment at all if you can't be bothered to read in its entirety what you are offering a useless comment about? Here? Here at the bukowskiforum there is a link or tab to an interview channel...

It's vague at the moment but I need to start writing it anyhow in the hopes it will become clearer as I write this... Advertising---Letting the public know your book exists---A TV show or Internet Show for the Counterculture---Interviews, Interviews, Interviews...Can you name such a channel or...

Right on, MJP! That is great news about Linda finding out and actually giving a damn and putting a stop to Martin's mentally ill bullshit actions. You were no doubt instrumental in sounding the alarm and hopefully it will lead eventually to new editions restored to their unmolested original...

Yea, apologies for only just now having come across this thread and the article it relates to... Dude, thank you very much for bringing this to the world's attention. You wrote about it in an easy to read style. Good clean lines. Mind, I am only venting here. The article and example of...

The Naked and the Dead was actually a very good novel for a 25 year old---if you can get past the "fugs". Damn good war novel. His best book is probably The Executioner's Song. If you like true crime, this is superior stuff. May be a bit of overkill as far as length, that was a flaw about...

Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke

Because Martin obviously cannot shake off the hideous mental disease that keeps him believing a publisher is an author's collaborator.

Hello Jordan, My copy, #20, arrived last week while I was on holiday in West Somerset. It's presented and formatted in a clean, simple style. The poems aren't bad, but the overall feel of them seems subdued. And that should mean nothing to anyone but me. I'm glad you took the...

Whatchoo talkin about, Willis? The way you said it implied he was dead. I had to check his website to make sure. Nope, not dead. Still churning 'em out. Good old, Joe. If you can only have one of his shows, pick Escape from Paradise. You won't be disappointed.

You've posted this to demonstrate you are not a troll. You were gonna write and post it eventually, but considering what's happened in the last few days, well.... The poem begins on 76 in the BS 1st edition. He mentions the dude who threw money on the floor and wrote an opera called The...

He was a drunkard who suffered horrendous hangovers! And no, he didn't give a sincere shit about work at school. What cool, future, immortal writer would?

I first came across Buk in High Times magazine around 1980 or so. He had a monthly Dirty Old Man "column". I wasn't of the mind or in the mood to read these short stories by some old dude who drank booze and basically wrote zero about pot & acid. I wanted to read about exotic pot and getting...

As of yet, no. Best place for info is the Sounes bio on Buk.

Well howdy babalama. Looks like you gotta lot of writing juice in you. That's a mighty big intro. Welcome to bukowski.net, the premier bukowski forum. There isn't a better one to be found anywhere. Enjoy your visits.

I thought it was a ridiculous scene. I felt embarrassed for Fante.

Indeed it was---the very same book I am currently reading. I don't find it nearly as interesting as Ask The Dust. Seems immature. I doubt I will finish it this time around. May give it another go in a few years. I must say I enjoy his polite way of talking about jacking off in the coat...

Kerouac: Desolation Angels was surprisingly good. Quite alot of philobabble and not bad, either. On The Road was a good road novel. I've tried to read most of his others (including Dharma) and couldn't care less. Vonnegut: Breakfast of Champions will be lost on anyone who hasn't redd most of...
