Was he literally retarded?

Seriously why didn't Bukowski just move out if he hated his town so much?

>old as fuck
>fat and ugly
>dead end postal job
Yet he claims he had slept with hundreds of young women. Do you believe him? How did he do it?

>and my oily shits

Who's the greatest writer overall?

He'd have to have amazing story's, prose, poetry, characters etc

Not who's your favourite but who's the best?

I'd say the top contenders are Shakespeare, Dante and Bukowski

He got women ALL the time

*blocks your path*
*sips drink and writes poetry about you*

What would you do lit?

Is he actually amazing or is it a meme?

I've read Pulp and thought it was meh, Post Office was pretty good but not great.

I feel like a pleb because I can't actually get into him. Where should I go next?

"Don't try".
