Even in this sort of book, I found a poetic paragraph to share with, you must know that Hank Chinaski is also a poet, apart from alcohol and women he writes poems in between.

One critic has described Bukowski's fiction as a "detailed depiction of a certain taboo male fantasy: the uninhibited bachelor, slobby, anti-social, and utterly free", an image he tried to live up to with sometimes riotous public poetry readings and boorish party behavior. [37] US heavy metal band W.A.S.P in their 1992 album "The Crimson Idol" used one line of Bukowski's poem, "Some People". Writers including John Fante, [34] Knut Hamsun, [34] Louis-Ferdinand Céline, [34] Ernest Hemingway, [35] Robinson Jeffers, [35] Henry Miller, [34] D. H. Lawrence, [35] Fyodor Dostoevsky, [35] Du Fu [35] Li Bai, [35] and James Thurber are noted as influences on Bukowski's writing.El final también es increíble. Ya que en casi todo el libro pensé que Chinaski sería un personaje que no se salvaría.... pero al final lo hizo. Cambió. Evolucionó. Un desarrollo de personaje que se ve notablemente solo en las últimas páginas del libro, pero que fue de las mejores partes, y un toque increíble.

am quite the cynic I would fall in love with Bukowski as he has the same dark, twisted view on life"

In 1993 U2 album Zooropa included the song 'Dirty Day'. The song repeatedly references the Bukowski poetry collection 'The Days Run Away, Like Wild Horses Over the Hill'. The lyrics also reflect on a troubled father-son relationship, which is a central theme in much of Bukowski's writing Now finally, Though I will remain a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, regarding my mandate on the content of this book, yet I will utter an indispensable fact in the end that will do justice to Charles Bukowski.

Calonne, David Stephen. Charles Bukowski: Sunlight Here I Am—Interviews and Encounters, 1963-1993. Northville, Mich.: Sun Dog Press, 2003. Look, you're small-town. I've had over 50 jobs, maybe a hundred. I've never stayed anywhere long. What I am trying to say is, there is a certain game played in offices all over America. The people are bored, they don't know what to do, so they play the office-romance game. Most of the time it means nothing but the passing of time. Sometimes they do manage to work off a screw or two on the side. But even then, it is just an offhand pasttime, like bowling or t.v. or a New Year's Eve party. You've got to understand that it doesn't mean anything and then you won't get hurt. Do you understand what I mean?" One of Bukowski’s first and best books of poetry. It features many poems about Jane Cooney Baker, Bukowski's first girlfriend who sadly drank herself to death.It really is a beautiful collection of poetry. It shows Bukowski's softer side. The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” In 1981, the Italian director Marco Ferreri made a film, Storie di ordinaria follia (aka Tales of Ordinary Madness), loosely based on the short stories of Bukowski; Ben Gazzara played the role of Bukowski's character.Chinaski (and persumably Bukowski) was a swine with no respect towards anything, and I truly believe he shouldn't be half as popular as he is. Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you've felt that way.”
