...and not the famous Hollywood drunkard known as Charles Bukowski.
- blfr 9y agoYes, definitely Bukowski the dissident. Although I would highly recommend both And the Wind Returns... and Factotum. There is this very telling scene in And the Wind Returns... where people peruse Lenin's works on the toilet (to then use as toilet paper because there was a shortage of course) and afterwards discuss what they read. It leads to never-ending arguments because the collected Lenin's writings were so contradictory, everyone found something different.
