Wow. This is really something else. I was somewhat prepared for this after seeing the film "Barfly" which was based on Bukowski's alcoholic, pessimistic lifestyle - screenplay written by Charles Bukowski himself. But wow.

A lo que yo alcanzo, este es el libro más político de su autor, aunque su pesimismo, amén de su misantropía, su misoginia y su homofobia, le alejara de cualquier compromiso con causa alguna (como dice en uno de sus poemas “La gente que cree en la Pol" Read more of this review »

"
Up until recently, all I knew about Charles Bukowski was what I learned in one of my all time favorite films, ‘Barfly,’ staring the incomparable Mickey Rourke as our antihero Henry Chinaski. If you haven’t seen it, you should remedy that immediately:" Read more of this review »

Ercilia Delancer Hi, Giselle:

I recall contacting you some years ago when your name came across my Facebook feed. We determined then that we didn't have any close relatives in common since I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, but most certainly our last name must have had a common origin. Originally, we spelled it "De Lancer" and also "D'Lancer" , but it was too confusing for most people, so we simplified it once we got to the United States. Thanks for contacting me about it. Cheers


Giselle Dear Ercilia,
I can see that your name is very similar with mine : Delance.
We probably have the same ancestors... and your name was changed as it happen often.
You can read my story https://www.amazon.com/dp/9783640844/...
I would be happy to receive sone news from you.
