Even if it is all an act, all of the autobiographical shit, Bukowski still has the narrative perspective of a person who refused to be groomed by his parents, teachers, or lovers. An alcoholic, violent, reflective, melancholy, predatory, imaginative, brutal narrator. And "NOADOM" reads like a tour through his boundary-less mind.

For those that have not worked in a chain bookstore, this is how they do it in the US. Not sure about the UK. I'm going to be photographing and listing a Charles Bukowski/ Stovepiper collection from '92/'93 soon. This one stepped over the line a few times for me. It was very sexually aggressive and that really affected me on this read. You lose what little respect remains for the character of Bukowski and realise him finally as ineffectual and impotent in the face of the world. Obviously that has literary and educational merit... but what was gained felt a little hollow, because I didn’t believe it.Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including Pulp (1994), Screams from the Balcony (1993), and The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992).

Decline And Fall - https://bukowski.net/database/displayContents.php?mag=856&Title=los-angeles-weekly-news Notes of a Dirty Old Man (1969) is a collection of underground newspaper columns written by Charles Bukowski for the Open City newspaper that were collated and published by Essex House in 1969. His short articles were marked by his trademark crude humor, as well as his attempts to present a "truthful" or objective viewpoint of various events in his life and his own subjective responses to those events. The series is currently published by City Lights Publishing Company but can also be found in Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook, which is a collection of some of Bukowski's rare and obscure works.

Bukowski writes like a latter-day Celine, a wise fool talking straight from the gut about the futility and beauty of life . . ." — Publishers Weekly urn:lcp:notesofdirtyoldm00buko:lcpdf:9411d777-b2d6-4048-8e0e-36a5a9f261c9 Extramarc Columbia University Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier notesofdirtyoldm00buko Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t9z05rm5f Invoice 11 Isbn 0872860744 How To Get Published - https://bukowski.net/database/detail.php?w=5698&Title=notes-of-a-dirty-old-man Bukowski has morality and ethics, but they are measured within a tawdry urban world that is collapsing inside itself. For instance his shirt cardboard reflections, 'if you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence', in other societies and circles, the test of friendship would not be so extreme, but in Bukowski's world, a jail sentence would suffice as best a test of friendship as you can get. A writer like Wordsworth would draw for us the beauty of nature, but Bukowski points out that nature may be drawn as one thing but how it goes about its business of being natural is another thing entirely. He also speaks for the thoughts and actions of humanity that is not dogmatic idealism, some people are embarrassed when they fart, but imagine if they farted and had a follow through? This is what Bukowski is about. When the mind is roughing it, not taking the usual route.
