Just after 14 years of his death Bukowsky turned out being a literary icon of the American culture. A poet of sadness, sorrow and hate of simple humans. A bitter man who’s notes and essays written from 1944-1990 will be published in the new book ”Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook“.
I have just found out that his “East Hollywood bungalow was saved from a developer’s razing by the L.A. City Council in February (I think that is the last place on Earth I would ever visit), which approved the move to make the newly christened “Bukowski Court” a Historic-Cultural Monument.”
Bukowski is more than an icon of American poetry but of the L.A. city’s underground and silenced culture. Thou I have never been in Los Angeles I sympathized with his work and has always been one of my favorite writers.
Here’s a video with one of his works and an animated production you’ll love to watch:
