David · Sep 5, 2008

Yes, thanks guys for posting this. Great article which also appeared in "Sure" (or another version of it, I'll have to check).

thanks roni, mjp\hanksolo - enjoyed it.

Bukfan · Sep 5, 2008

Thanks guys! I have'nt read that article before...

I think Bukowski would have to agree with all of that. It sure took a lot of research to write. Who is Robert Sandarg?
Thank you again. I never cared much for opera either.

Sandarg also wrote a beautiful essay on Bukowski "The man in the room".
The German Society yearbook 2006. You know where you can read the piece.

He's a professor of literature at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
He also is a friend of the Bukowski-Society and (of course) of mine.

and don't miss his article on the classical music-subject in yearbook 2005 p.70ff.
You know where you can read the piece.

here's an excerpt from his latest email, telling what to expect next:

"...
I am hoping to send you an article entitled "The Profanity of Charles Bulowski" one of these days, an essay which treats not really his profanity (in the form of curses, etc) but his profanation of major concepts such as fatherhood, politics, religion and so forth, in verbal profane rituals.
..."

Thanks, Roni! - The profanity article sounds promising!

If he keeps that up he's going to eventually have enough essays for a book.

Hasn't he written some books already? In his review of Slouching towards Nirvana he mentions his bad reviews.
But you might be implying a book about Bukowski.

source note:
This article originally appeared in the 'Jahrbuch der Charles-Bukowski-Gesellschaft' (yearbook of the Bukowski-Society) No 1. That was 1998.

edit: Here's a PDF of the complete article. music.pdf 1.54Mb

The PDF link is dead, any chance...

mjp · Nov 26, 2013

I can find that when I get to work tomorrow...or later today, as the case may be.

Ponder · Nov 26, 2013

Thanks.

There are a lot of things in that account that are probably lost behind broken links now. If you come across a broken link like michaelphil.web132.discountasp.net/buk/whatever you should be able to fix it by changing it to hcsocial.us/buk/whatever

Eventually I should move it all to bukowski.net, but it's several gigs of stuff that is just there for the hell of it.

you're right, David: It had been in 'sure' way before the Buk-Society published it. That was not even "another version" but the exact same thing. So the article Not "originally appeared" in our yearbook as I've tried to convince you all in my first post of the thread in an attempt to look like Superman.
