Whenever I've checked amazon in the past they had no copies available. But just checked now and lo and behold there are copies going from a penny. Got one ordered. Looks like I'll be putting all those Edward Abbey books I had lined up on hold. Thanks for the heads up.

A Feast of Snakes by Harry Crews.

I've been trying to find a copy of A Flag for Sunrise for about two years to no avail. I read a great story somewhere out of Bear And His Daughter, but that book is equally elusive.

Not so much brave as too mapped to know better. No signs of gentrification as of yet but they're trying to class up Pumphreys by enforcing a dress code (no caps, no trackies). I doubt that's managed to lure the Osborne Road crowd though.

No brother you're not! I'm three years late to your comment, but Dog Soldiers is a masterpiece. RIP Robert Stone.

If you can find a copy, check out Tattoo by Earl Thompson. It's long since out of print but well worth the search. It's definitely a read Bukowski fans would enjoy. I even think Buk himself would have liked it.

Hello fellow Bukowskinistas! I'm trying to find the source of a Buk passage I read a few years ago. Can't place it on any of his books that I own. The passage concerns the act of writing, and compares it to boxing. If I remember rightly he envisions the typewriter as an opponent that you have to...
