Summary

Charles Bukowski: Notes of an Old Scumbag 2

Uncollected Columns

Although he lived a very turbulent life and took up writing relatively late, Bukowski was incredibly prolific: he published about a hundred books and booklets and hundreds of texts and columns under the title Notes of an Old Scumbag in a dozen literary and underground magazines that are mostly forgotten today. Among these yellowed and dusty printed matter, scattered essays, stories, poems, interviews, aphorisms... - literary pearls in a row, and this is the second selection and binding, after the first one from 1969. Combining journalism, autobiography and fiction, imagination and reality, Bukowski writes attractively, insightfully and provocatively - as if he didn't know how to write a boring line! His texts are recognizably soaked in alcohol and sex, with which he "buys" readers in order to point out to them the alienation of society and people, which he observes and describes with understanding.
Putting his "corrupt" reflections on paper, Bukowski writes a dedication to all unmolded and independent people, no matter where they live and what they do. They classified him among beatniks, hippies, rockers... and he was a loner and avoided any "clan gatherings", he did not look for gurus in India and Africa, alcohol was better for him than drugs, and he loved Mozart and Bach more than Hendrix and Dylan. In one of the notes included here, he writes: »I don't want to be an intelligent man and I succeeded in that. Intelligent people bore me with their learning, their firm gaze that shows great knowledge...
My ignorance comforts me.« He was really himself, so unusual and yet so ordinary. Man.
