@Lammie I didn't want to imply "childish" at all - I still think they are great writers and rabidly disagree with people who say that Buk is over-hyped hipster prose. Like many, I was very inspired to bleed my life or a fanciful version of it onto the page but I guess when it failed to materialize, I moved on a bit. I still occasionally read some Buk poems or stories and would like to hear reccos in a similar vein...Oh - B. Traven, especially The Death Ship, if you haven't already...
@SukebeGG I loved all the authors you mention as a younger person, but don't know how I would feel about 'em now. Re-read some Bukowski (namely Factotum and Ham On Rye) recently, and just wasn't that into it. LOVED 'em in my 20's, though...Would be kinda curious to re-read some Selby, but you never see those around anymore. (Or at least I don't!)
@Josh Boulton ooh, thanks for the heads up, never heard of that one!
Hey everyone,
We made a new forum and moved it over to the below address. I was hoping to transfer over everything posted this last week but the developers of this app won't get back to me, and it kind of sucks. The old forum will be up for like one more week in case you want to look up any stuff mentioned here or transfer stuff over, but head over to the new forum to post because this will all be gone relatively soon. You don't have to create a new account. Just click log in and enter the email address you used for this forum. However, once logged in you will have to edit your profile and add back your nickname and avatar. Instructions for all that are pinned to the top of the new forum. Head on over and get posting. Thanks again everyone and sorry this one is already busted, but it will be worth it.
Yesterday I read The Tragedy of the Worker:Towards the Proletarocene, by the Salvage Collective. Quick read (100 pages), but lots of bones to chew. Will probably re-read.
Also started Valencia, by Michelle Tea, since it was only now published in French. I hear it's some kind of underground classic for U.S queer punks ? So far it's a great, fun read, just what I needed after all the doom and gloom of the previous one.
@ratcharge I remember liking Tragedy of the Worker when it came out when it came out. Some of the Salvage Collective stuff has an air of depression though...
@ratcharge
Alex, get your ass over to the new forums, man!
