Out to lunch

[thestrawhat]

Howdy ya'll,

I'm new to Charles, and I just read his journal-ish work, "The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship". Our man makes many allusions to sleeping on top of garbage cans. Has he opened up about this event in any other works? I'm no scholar, but I can tell this drunken event in some way meant a lot to him, because he references this enigma about 3 or 4 times in this book.

Sorry about being such a nublet about all this, I'm just so taken.

Who's Charles?

Welcome to the forum...Scan through some entries for the usual monikers given to our favourite writer...

He means Charles Bukowski.
:D

I don't think sleeping on top of garbage cans is something he wrote about very often. I didn't even remember that from Captain, but then my memory like a goldfish.

I've seen Charles described as the Garbage Pail Laureate.
