Linda Bukowski donates books & manuscripts to Huntington Library

[cirerita]

Those descriptions were mostly wrote down while I was at UCSB by a very cool librarian. He liked Bukowski's work and he kept bringing me rare material and saying: "Isn't this just great, man?"

The Huntington Collection should be available for research by late Spring, 2009.

It IS great. If I'd live there, I'd live there! At least for a while :)

You are welcome, james. Seems like a lot of hilarious stuff out there.

Thanks for the info.
Enough time left to buy me a PhD ;-))
No, seriously, I'm pretty sure, that a scholar who's able to make his intentions clear, can do without a title.

But I'm worried, that one is not allowed to carry a pen. Are we entitled to memorize all these things we find there?

You need two letters of reference, that's all. No big deal, really. Of course, it would be better if no letters of reference were required to simply gain access to the material, but that ain't my policy.

Does having you name listed in the credits of a book of Bukowski's short stories, prose and poems count as a reference?

 

[cirerita]

Huh?

The new City Lights book... You are in there....

[cirerita]

Oh, that. It won't work as a reference. You need letters from college profs, etc.

Don't worry, Young Man, pencils and laptops are allowed.

Thanks for the link, Johannes!
It's interesting to read what Buk stuff they have...

 

[roni]

... pencils and laptops are allowed.

thanks for the info.
but - what's the use of baning pens?

 

[hank solo]

I'm guessing here: Pens may leave indelible marks on valuable papers. :D

 

[roni]

so do pencils, when you use 'em on the wrong paper.
a scholar should be able to differ between the source-paper and the target-paper, right?

it's a stupid ban.

How about photocopies? I visited the site a month ago, but got bogged down and bored... All that text, no naked lady pictures.

Honestly, what kind of website is that?
