"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."

Re: Bukowski sometimes reminds me of Ligotti.
Derleth may have used Lovecraft's ideas and name but at least he wrote his own characters and words. What this guy did to Bukowski's work would be similar to grafting cow's calves to replace Venus de Milo's missing arms to make her look more 'presentable'.

Re: Bukowski sometimes reminds me of Ligotti.
One of my regrets was when I lived in L A in the 70s, I never tried to visit Bukowski.
I drove to Harlan Ellison's home off Mulholland Drive, and I went into Hollywood all the time, yet I never showed up at Bukowski's house. Stupid stoner. | |||||||||||

Re: Bukowski sometimes reminds me of Ligotti.
That "editing" is simply disgusting.
If Buk wanted to use vulgar instead of dirty he would have, ignorance was not a problem for Buk. Changing losing $40 to winning $400 shows a complete lack of understanding who and what Buk was. He should write his own poem, "What I wish Hank had written so he sounded more like me" so no one would pay any attention to it, instead of the gross pile that is being shown.
