Start with "The Most Beautiful Woman in Town"... a collections of short stories....... that should be enough to get you hooked.

"Ham on Rye" was made into a move called " Bar Fly "

Bukowski was one of a kind...as brilliant as he was crazy...

"Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of ass, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement."

Not really my taste of literature, but at the same time cant say that his works are not good.

no romance shit

Guy was an artist - absolutely bitter and real - what's really sad is reading tough guy actor Michael Madsen's poetry books... he's a wanna be Bukowski and SUCKS so BAD!!!

Juilan · 11-17-2005, 07:49 AM

"Religion is the invention of failures."

Love that author. Think I've read the books I have from him at least twice; Bone Palace Ballet, Run With the Hunted, Pulp, Screams from the Balcony, Open All Night.

is he the charles that invented the bukkake??

dopeman · 11-17-2005, 11:54 AM

did everyone download that mp3 file at the end?? that was fucking great. you could hear the hatered in his heart for entertaining those white college kids. the hippy movement seemed to embrace him, but he hated them. he knew they were nothing but a bunch of privilaged white suburban rich kids who had absolutely no replacement for the system they were trying to tear down. great shit. i'd like to hear more.

For some, he's just exceptional. I like some of his works though.

If you like Bukowski definatly check out Steven Jesse Bernstein.
Another amazing tortured poet who was the real deal and pulled no punches.

he released a spoken word album on the subpop lable a few years back that is exceptional.... Released after his suicide.
