Thank you so much for introducing me to Bukowski, /lit/. This book was amazing.

Can you recommend any more raw accounts of living in the American Depression?

Which one? If you are talking about the current American Depression, try Tao Lin.

If you want a slightly less pretentious version of Bukowski, read John Fante.

Not Depression era, but if you like Bukowski's wonderfully cynical first person prose, try Knut Hamsun, or Celine.

So in another thread i remember your story about Bukowski fucking and assaulting your mother, that's why you have this 'crusade' against Bukowski on /lit/. I'm sorry about what happened to her but what exactly are you trying to accomplish? It's pathetic that you search every thread for a mention of Bukowski and then start trolling. You life revolves around your mother's rapist and that's sad. Move on, man.

I hope that story is true, gives him a reason to troll. Otherwise he's just a sad little boy spending all day on /lit/ hoping for someone to mention Bukowski.

Tripfag, why do I see you in every Bukowski thread? It never fails...someone brings up Bukowski and then you show up trying to convince us how shitty he is and his work is. You don't see how fucking pathetic that is?

Just read more Bukowski, OP.

>>3331634
Do you have that full thread to prove it that I said that in all honesty and wasn't trolling? I appreciate your courage of waiting over an hour to make sure I'm gone before posting that.

>>3331643
Nope.

>>3331653
I don't hope anyone posts Bukowski. The only reason I keep the trip on is for this reason, that people can reply to me as I am in Bukowski threads. I'm thinking about taking it off though because all I get is the same crybabies that jump into threads I'm in and repeat the same shit over and over when they see my trip. If anything, those people that are following me around waiting for me to post in Bukowski threads, like this "bukowski raped your mom" guy, are the sad ones.

>>3331661
Every bukowski thread? I haven't been in every Bukowski thread. It seems funny that people think that I'm some massive troll that just waits for people to post about Bukowski all day. The truth is, this is one of the slower boards on 4chan, so it's not hard to catch up. Especially when I'm clearly here and posting around in other threads, it amazes me that people think I've been sitting here in silence waiting for Bukowski threads just to pop-up.

I'm not trying to convince the majority of people that respond to me. Most know the arguments I have, they can't defend against them, so they start with "Bukowski raped your mommy!" and other lame things.

If I save one person from having to read Bukowski, I've done my job.


---------------------

Side Note: When people post "Buk raped your mom" to me, without fail there's always the same "He raped his mom!?" "Oh this explains it." from two or three "other" (I use that loosely) people. If these are really other people from the one person, you're an idiot if you're believing that.

Hard Times by Studs Terkel immediately comes to mind. It's an oral history of the Great Depression, but's brilliantly collected and arranged.
