This particular issue is titled: Resurrection issue including a retrospective of Charles Bukowski, interviews, short stories, photography and artwork all a tribute to Hank's eightieth birthday. And a great tribute it is. Happy Birthday Charles B. This issue for sure is a must for all of us who honor the name Bukowski. I can only imagine that someplace an amusing, confident, contented smile would be cracked by King Charles the Buk. I hope he tips a beer. Most interesting to me, I learned from the material within. And spread out about the issue are poems by Bukowski that saw first appearance in Marvin Malone's monument of a literary magazine, the fantastic Wormwood Review. Malone was a life-long publisher of Bukowski's work, among many, many others. Within this Free Thought issue are interviews with John Martin, Gerald Locklin, Michael Montfort and articles and short stories by friends, like John Thomas, and a very interesting piece by William Parkard, editor of The New York Quarterly. The issue also features a very long interview with Linda Bukowski and a piece called The First Time I Read Bukowski by Free Thought editor Gary Aposhian. And there are Bukowski drawings and a re-publication of 20 tanks from Kasseldown and lots of photographs not before published. A dream, a dream for sure for Charles Bukowski fans, readers, scholars, and fans and friends. For Sure.



As I said, just a guess.

Wake up guys! Or don't :)

Next question.

What's the name of Buk's & Linda's cat who was already 21 years old in 1999 or 2000?
 
i was gonna guess 54. so that IS my guess, i guess. if i recall it's mentioned in women? i haven't had time to look just yet...
 
Seem to recall it was jack...the one who left his wife and girls. The uncle/aunt they visited when the fly flew into Buk's dads mouth? Am I right on saying his name was Jack?

Appreciate your friends
SuptJonstone on that point you are right, but to be perfectly honest, I do not know the real guys real name. Since I'm sure all the names were changed in the book to protect the innocent or whatever.
You may ask the next question please and thank you for answering.

Some of the many scholars and their interns out there in Bukowski cyberville will know the Godfathers real name. They'll let us know or at least me.

:(:):D:eek::eek:;)
 
Buk's favorite movie

That's a tough one. I would vote for "Eraserhead", although he also liked "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "The Elephant Man" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
:rolleyes:

'What was Buk's favorite movie"?
Not sure if it was his favourite but Buk wrote about a Cagney movie where Jimmy played a character, a fighter, who fought too long so his brother could become a concert pianist.

Can't remember the title and I can't find anything after a quick internet search. Maybe I'm wrong there.

'What was Buk's favorite movie"?

i see a problem in asking for THE favorite movie, since he named several he did like (always after claiming how he disliked movies in general). all the mentioned above were once stated to be okay by him (or his alter ego).

But I think you may refer to a scene in a novel (was it 'Women'?) when Chinasky is asked about his favorite movie. I won't look it up now, but seem to remember, it was either 'Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf' (mentioned already) or a fake name for 'Eraserhead' (also mentioned before).
