Based or Reddit?

redditors absolutely loathe him because he was "misogynist", even though it was quite clear he needed women in his life

The George Carlin of literature

>>25412730
He's 95% reddit.
>>
>>25412733
He's more Facebook than anything. For white-trash adjacent chin-stroking guy who went to community college and still gives a shit about Hunter S. Thompson
>>
>>25412733
Ok, so he’s Reddit ten years ago.

Fun to read in the moment, ultimately completely pointless, wasted talent.

But not especially offensive, either. I'm not sure why anyone would seek this other than to make themselves feel less bad about their addictions by making them sound funny.

his lifestyle and philosophy were super radical for the generation preceding him. nobody thought you could be a layabout drunkard cooze hound and make a profession writing about it.

>>25412733
Being a misogynist doesn't necessarily mean that you don't need a woman in your life, quite the contrary.

Lots of writers were like that, Bukowski stood out because he was unashamedly working class and vulgar

>>25413058
Most committed misogynists are gay, happily single or married a woman purely for children

The ones who need women are more disappointed romantics

Very polarizing. At times great at times terrible.

He's kinda like the J. K. Rowling of poetry, in the sense that his life is more interesting than his works. But talented, I give him that.

Go back to your grave, Nabokov.

Don't like him, don't like 95% of his work, but "The Fiend" is an amazing short story, pretty much perfect, very relatable.
