Looking for something about Bukowski's view of Classics.

[Fauve]

I don't know where I've read but I am fairly certain it stated Bukowski, it went something like that "I'd rather hear a story about a homeless man in NY than read a classic about Greek Gods..."


Or something like that, does it ring a bell for anyone? Would appreciate it immensely, thanks!

does it ring a bell for anyone?

It rang a bell immediately, but David beat me to it.

While we're at this "does anyone remember..." business I'll recommend this place.
As I always do. :p
