Dens of Iniquity
Wanna see a shrine to depression but without any of the white guilt that ruins the Indian reservations? You're in luck, paleface!
The Los Angeles City Council is voting next week on whether or not the crumbling stucco bungalow where Charles Bukowski once lived should be preserved as a landmark. Though currently boarded up, proponents of making a monument out of the 90-year-old property where Chuck drank countless pints of swill and wrote his first novel want it to become part of a walking tour of LA.
If the motion passes, people from around the world will be able to see what sort of environment contributes to a man's persistent drunkenness and relentless pursuit to hurt women.

Hmm, I like Bukowski more as a person then a writer-though I do like that economic style of writing….he was an angry kid but aren't we all..
Also,
"If the motion passes, people from around the world will be able to see what sort of environment contributes to a man’s persistent drunkenness and relentless pursuit to hurt women."
That's a bit harsh and one sided? A lot of 'Bukowski' is so wrapped up in myth and parody. And yeah, I'm also talking about his own auto bio writing.
Do you feel if he was good with women, wasn't such a self hater AND wasn't addicted to alcohol to cure his intense insecurity-that he would be a better writer?
Hmm, dunno-just seemed like you didn't approve..
Wrong. The women in Bukowski's life hurt him much more than the other way around. Hateful bitch.
3 comments so far? come on, people! bukowski! every post abour Britney gets at least 30 comments. don't we care about the godfather of glorified addictions and romantic downward spirals?
I would so let him rape me.
