Bukowski and then the end of the world (again) type stuff!
It seems like a long time since I unloaded my consciousness into a keyboard and onto the blog so I thought, maybe I should. I have been reading a lot more recently rather than writing. One thing I read was Bukowski's Hollywood. It was a bizarre and oddly easy read! I had heard many people over the years talk about Bukowski and an opportunity came to read a book and so I did. But what I found bizarre is the simple style, but then that also made it easy to read! Why should that be bizarre, well, possibly because I think I expected something deeper and more intense but Hollywood is just a first person retelling of his experience of getting his film made in Hollywood, much as he didn't really care whether it was or not although by the end he decidedly did, but also ticked it off as a done that, been there kind of moment never to be repeated. As he's dead, I guess he won't! But the simplistic style and straightforward dialogue was what made it a page turner hard to put down
