What a cute little boy he was. (7:53) I wonder what would have become of him had he not been abused. I feel so terrible for abused children. It's probably the worst thing that can happen to a child. Kids are so helpless. Anyway, Bukowski was a great soul. I've always loved his writing. My favorite story is one the pieces in Notes of Dirty Old Man, an untitled story about Buk living in New York, renting a small room where the train stops outside his window every ten minutes. Brilliant.

I might be wrong here, but I think Bukowski didn't dislike humanity as a race, because they are human but because humans are destructive, they destroy what they don't understand. he perhaps tries indeed to escape pain, though pain caused by humanity in the first place. All he asked was to be left alone and not even that was given to him.You might say it's just depression. didn't you just judge him without ever knowing him? Isn't that enough reason to want to get away from someone?

Mr. Bukowski explained it perfectly. Keep your distance and I will feed you and you do the same back. That is part of good writing -- observing and not intruding on others for a reaction. Socializing is done for that purpose. Why would you go out of your way or else lazily annoy someone into a fit in order to sit or stand and attract false attention? That is pure ignorance.

Harper collins now is Buk's publisher. Too bad I never recorded or filmed Steve. He emailed me about 8 years ago thanking me for comparing his "Earth Rose" to Ginsberg's Howl on Amazon. He and Bukowski were very close friends.

The Senseless, Tragic Rape of Charles Bukowski’s Ghost by John Martin’s Black Sparrow Press by Michael Phillips June 18th, 2013 If you’ve ever read anything by Charles Bukowski, you no doubt remember the feeling you had the first time you came across his work. For better or worse, Bukowski is one of those authors who you don’t easily forget or ignore. Very few people are ambivalent about him.

He spoke of "human race" instead of "human being". You see, there is a essential difference of perspective. I suppose the spiritual distance he needed to the "human race", urged to be spoken out, was, on the one hand, more or less the only possible way for him to create the impossibile works while making the deep pain bearable on the other hand.

I'd have to think awhile before nailing it down perfectly. His comments are superficial.

I'd love to hear from them. Too much Penn, and what he brings to the table is mediocre.

Agree with those pointing out that Sean Penn in the same sentence as Bukowski is like a homemade Neapolitan pizza fresh out of the oven, topped with steaming dog shit. Sean Penn is a fucking poser from the word GO, and has about as much creative vision and insight as a stuffed doll. Artistry and Ego have nothing in common. Penn is self-aggrandizing; Bukowski: human. The End.
