A suitable tool for the serious Bukowski fan.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The logic is clear. The examples are numerous. The only such work of its kind to my knowledge. There is plenty of academic jargon, but the ideas are recognizable. Only the complete Bukowski nut will not find something new worth considering. Readers will find the sheer volume of quotes useful, but some literary background helps, there is a chapter on 'Metonymy'. Probably too specialized for those unfamiliar with the author's work, unless they happen to be preoccupied with the American Labor Movement.
Bukowski the Anarchist?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Interesting effort attempts to place Buk in the left-wing anarchist tradition.
