Non fiction and super depression and full of pain, is everything Bukowski has written.
Love his books. He sees right through it all and doesn't give a fuck. At all.
- cainxinth 6y agoI’m not sure he “sees right through it.” His his view is sorta clouded by cynicism. The world is not all bad, after all. Or at least not as bad as he makes it out to be. Full agreement on his not giving a fuck though. He’s the kinda guy that would fart at a party and then laugh at the people offended by it.
- mercer 6y agoI love Bukowski but reading his work as 'seeing through' things doesn't strike me as a good approach. His 'seeing through' involved a lot of fucked up stuff, among them what seems like a rather unhealthy relationship with alcohol. An alcoholic plays life on extra hard mode. No wonder the conclusion is cynical!
- m463 6y agoI do love his writing. But did you ever see the documentary movie where he pushes his girlfriend off the couch with his feet?
- bogomipz 6y agoBesides the one odd travelogue "Shakespeare Never Did This" what other non-fiction Bukowski books are there? "Post Office" has semi-autobiographical elements but it's still very much fiction.
