Bring Me the Head of Charles Bukowski

I thought it was Genet and Sartre, although he could have also use a Miller quote....

And I don't think that it was Hank that did it, but was probably Carl Weissner....

I didn't forget this thread but I'm too lazy to have a look at the notes taken from the Sounes bio (I think I read about this in this book). I'll try to do it in the coming week.

So, I've finally checked my notes and it turns out that Sounes is quite vague about that subject : He writes that in the mid 70s, one could read in the newspapers praises from Sartre and Genet who both considered Buk as the greatest living american poet. According to him, these praises were invented, probably by Buk himself, he who by the past already wrote the said fake Miller's praise.

That's too approximate and consequently doesn't get us anywhere...

That's a very concise review of Sounes. Good work.

His picture book is cute though.
