Bukowski however wild is comforting. reading Bukowski is like talking with ur own demon. love is a dog from hell really helped me. also, nice video. do more of these kind with diff authors they're really good
I read Post Office and I just loved the way Bukowski paints the plot with his blunt brush. An apt narration about Bukowski's writings. Loved it, Ayesha!
One day I should re-read Hank. I quite enjoyed his books when I was an adolescent, but then I felt like I outgrew them and moved to other, more baroque territories. In spite of their huge difference of age, both Nick Cave and Charles Bukowski wrote from the 1970s to the 1990s- all right, Cave is still alive and quite kicking but I would argue he already gave us his best. I've always tended to consider them somehow as the Faulkner (Cave) and Hemingway (Bukowski) of the postmodern period. It's also interesting that Cave always talked disparagingly of Buk's books. I think I'll rewatch Marco Ferreri's Tales Of Ordinary Madness before the end of the year . . . .
i read Bukowski early in my teens. i've been wondering how i'd see his work now after so long, a little older, and so i'm picking up Hollywood for january! great to see this come up on my feed in prep for my reading! thank you for this wonderful analysis! do you have a favorite Bukwoski book?
Re-reads, more often than not, reveal so much more than the first read. As a more evolved reader and person, one is bound to dive deeper into such works of literature. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It's just so wonderful reading comments here and talking about these kinds of books and reading in general. 💛💛 Oh and my favorite Bukowski has to be Ham on Rye! Reading this book, it broke my heart.
@@ReadADayClub yes! totally agree. books are not a one-and-done deal! they are meant to be revisited over and over again. and i think i have to agree with you! i think Ham on Rye was his most earnest of the bunch! i think because he touched upon his childhood in that book more so than the others.
Bukowski was realistic. He is not selling fake positivity and ''pink balloons''. Life is shitty, for most of ppl, even when they don't want to admit that.
I should've started my video with these words exactly! 💯 His life was miserable, he was miserable. And he wrote about it in the most unfiltered manner. That type of honesty sort of just hits you in the face.
