Since this thread has come grinding to a halt, here is a real question with an answer.
What was the story about gold with purple spots and the Austrian doctor? What was it written in? You see, easy.

Bukfan
"The law is wrong; I am right"
There's a doctor with a German accent in the story, "All the assholes in the world and mine", from, "South Of No North". I'm not sure if his nationality is mentioned, but Buk calls him a Nazi doctor at one point so I've always presumed he's German although an Austrian would fit the bill just as nicely...

....when he looked into the mirror he saw that his face was gold colored with green polka dots....
Okay, it was green not purple. I was drinking then. It should be easier now.

No. But it may be included in there, I have not read Hot Water Music yet.
Bukfan
"The law is wrong; I am right"
I think he is! That story is in "Notes of a Dirty Old Man".

So Bukfan is correct. No surprise. You are it.

There are no titles in Notes of a Dirty Old Man.

Ok, here we go:
To whom did Bukowski write, "There is little doubt that obscurity and aloneness and failure are the agents and angels of the good Art, and I am being tested here, ..." ?
Ambreen
Sordide Sentimental
I read it two years ago so I didn't remember this detail and I interpreted your question as asking us to tell the titles of the story and of the book it's written in :p

The most obscure question would be, what color shirt was Bukowski wearing when he spit in your face. (with all due respect, of course)

Usually wrong.
Okay, what's the title of this poem and in what magazine did it appear?
"I used to deliberately
get into barroom fights
with anybody around
now
as the world
nears its end
I hear reports of the
dinosaur being
sighted again
time
for me to
go back to the
bars."
That's the complete poem.

Here's a clue. When he learned of the planned publication of this poem along with some of Bukowski's letters, John Martin wrote a letter to the editor threatening legal action if he went ahead with it. The letters of Martin and his attorneys were reproduced on a broadside included with the magazine. How's that for in your face?
