samuel hyde has had some rough years
>>25502570for me its his short storiesnotes from a dirty old man is also very interesting, feels like bukowski at his most vulnerable
>>25502570I really enjoyed Post Office. Read it when I was 16. Liked Factotum but not as much. He's good to recommend young people getting into literature but I don't consider him a serious authorI do like his poem the Suicide Kid quite a bit though
>>25502570I like quotes of what Bukowski has said in interviews a lot more than I like anything he's ever written.
>>25502570I liked him when I was a teenager, I don't think they'd hold up for me nowadays. Ham on Rye was my favorite back then
>>25503251Postie here. Bukowski is a cunt who couldn't hack delivery so became a night sort and couldn't hack schemae. When you fail at being a postman you're failing at failing.>But it was raining and I dropped my bundle.Can't even do junk mail.
>>25502570>I am miserable>I am an ALCOHOLIC>sex sex women sex I FUCKED a woman and I smoke cigarettes...How can anyone find this man's contributions meaningful? Lmfao.
>>25504123Because if you think your life is bad, his was worse. And he kept surviving. An extremely tough soft guy. He knew he had something to give.
