Have pretty much most of Bukowski work. Being "into" him for many years, and believing that he is one of "the Best" american moderns, i took a brake from reading only him (maybe i was too much into it?)/ So i strayed, and went for John Fante, Dan Fante (his son), Celine, Camus and even Kerouac. Now i find Bukowski work: Anemic! Ham on Rye, i fell asleep reading it. Boring! Same thing with "Hot Water Dance" i found, i am ashamed to say this, STUPID! Why? Now there are few poems that i still favor, and enjoy reading over and over, even memorizing them. But over all i unfortunately doubt Bukowski will Anyone experianced the same about their favorite autor?

read "Women" and "Post Office?" Great stuff. I could never get into his poetry. |
