Have you read anything by John or Dan Fante?

I'm not saying they're better but I've enjoyed their books almost as much as I enjoyed for example Ham On Rye


Na, but i've been wanting to check Fante out for a long time - just couldn't find a book of his in any bookstore here yet. I'll def. do that, thanks for reminding :)

Bukowski.

Nobody writes as honest and dirty as he did.


You've seen him read poems live, right? They have videos on YouTube.

Also, if you ever get the chance see the movie Barfly (if you haven't already). Bukowski wrote the screenplay and it incorporates a lot of the prevailing themes of his writing/thinking.
