adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. This and the recording "70 Minutes in Hell" marked my introduction to Bukowski. As a sullen lad of 16 I became immediately hooked. However, I'm not going to gush about one of my favorite writers, it would just be embarrassing. You can see all the stars i threw at it. i fucking love it. YET ANOTHER 'PERMANENTLY BORROWED' TITLE. Starting to think i should simply create a specific collection on this site for such items. Let it be a lesson to everyone, collecting books and records does not mix well with a drug habit. of all the years of abuse i don't regret anything but the fact my mind was not in good enough shape to notice these things disappearing around me. or maybe do i blame the company i used to keep? let's agree that i am just as much at fault as the cheap bastards i knew as friends or acquaintances ( )In this collection of Bukowski's short stories, an eclectic mix of stream-of-consciousness rants, slices of memoir and actual short stories mix to create brief glimpses from the middle of a world viewed as the fringe by most. In these stories, Bukowski writes what the early impressionists were caught painting - tales of gambling, drinking and sex. Like the painters breaking new ground, these are stories of opportunity. Instead of reaching for the prose that will look good in gilded covers, Bukowski writes graphically of times in prison, times at the bottom of bottles, the deep recesses of anger in the mind, and the self-doubt that plagues anyone of creativity. Much of it is raw, much of it is, at best, sexist, much of it comes from places of fear and anger, and some stories don't even seem to have a point, but all of it seems to come from a very personal place. Whether this place is always honest or not, is definitely up for debate. J'adore ce livre, j'adore ce mec, j'adore son univers... Bref. Le seul auteur qui me donne envie d'aller me perdre dans des bars interlopes et de mettre minable, au sens premier du terme, pour être certain que tout cela est bien réel. Une boufée d'air fétide dans un monde de plus en plus hygiéniste. C'est peut-être mon penchant naturel pour l'alcool qui veut ça mais j'ai directement accroché sur l'écriture de Bukowski, et surtout sur son esprit, son détachement, son égoïsme, son amour exclusif de la bouteille, donc des bitures, des femmes, donc du cul, et sa façon de toujours centrer ces histoires autour d'un personnage qui quand il n'a pas carrément son nom et son image, lui ressemble. Women, Journal d'un vieux dégueulasses, sont autant de bouquins qui semblent quasiment autobiographiques, chroniques de la vie d'un alcoolique décrépit s'étant mis sur le tard à l'écriture, à la poésie. Les "Contes de la folie ordinaire" sont en fait des nouvelles hétéroclites assemblées sans lien chronologique ou thématique entre elles. Bukowski raconte sa vie en dehors du système, se foutant de tout, provocateur, jean-foutre et jemenfoutiste. Vite lu, jouissif, divertissant, marrant, unique, que ce soit au niveau des thèmes comme de l'écriture. C'est peut-être parce que c'est la dernière, mais la nouvelle qui m'a le plus marqué est "Le Zoo Libéré", histoire d'amour entre un clodo et une allumée zoophile bien barrée mais où perce une pointe de romantisme plaisant et de réflexion intéressante sur la tolérance. Sempre adoro os contos do Bukowski. Mesmo sendo tudo parecido, sempre consegue me fazer devorar o livro. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
With Bukowski, the votes are still coming in. There seems to be no middle ground-people seem either to love him or hate him. Tales of his own life and doings are as wild and weird as the very stories he writes. In a sense, Bukowski was a legend in his time . . . a madman, a recluse, a lover . . . tender, vicious . . . never the same . . . these are exceptional stories that come pounding out of his violent and depraved life . . . horrible and holy, you cannot read them and ever come away the same again.
