Interesting discussion. I've written something about Bukowski and have been trying to find a publisher for it. It's about 3,000 words, "On Reading Bukowski." Know any mags that might be interested?

Thank you,

What his father did to him as a child:

Like the aberrant gene mutation of the warped teutonic personality.

I prefer to understand the tortured soul rather than celebrate the wit with which he survived - from the acne to the leukemia

The act of writing and cooking with fire jumped homo sapiens' evolution forward. And what is religion without Holy Scriptures and ancient texts? Writing defines us as being some thing other than or more than "animal". Not to sound gratuitous, but "write on friends". Never mind the chatter.
