/lit/ - Literature

If the term "cultural appropriation" ever drifts away from SJWs so that it regains any semblance of meaning, by the looks of it that movie would probably be an example of it. A significant portion of Bukowski's literary credibility comes from the same place as the trope of someone from the upper class being rejuvenated by slumming it with the lower class.

But to be fair, how many people will have the lifestyle credibility of Bukowski and be interested in reading poetry? I'm willing to guess that people who have Temp Agency jobs on their resume and people who go to poetry readings don't have much overlap.
