>Choosing to consume certain products makes you a tough guy

Americans are truly pathetic

>>16976689
It's a pathetic persona that's been always overblown. Bukowski is the center piece, his novels are the accoutrement. I can't imagine reading another one. A few I've read were decent, but Women was just a tragic waste of time.

You got filtered by a joke. Consider that taking oily shits also doesn't make you tough.

When I think of bukowski, the exact image of him in my mind is him staggering out of the bathroom drunk, fresh off an oily shit, head thrown back, taking the last big drag off his cigarette, towards the ugly hooker laying in his bed in the morning

Fucken Checked

What's so hard to understand? Some people, like Bukowski, are just born to live tough lives. He was a tough motherfucker and I really respect him for that, maybe more than any other writer.

>>16977777
Checked my man.

>>16976689
Who the fuck notices the texture of their shit? I have never given one second thought to it so how could this drunk think it is worth writing about it in a book about his shitty life?

>Drinking, smoking, fucking hookers and taking shits???
All of those are self inflicted that's not a hard life. And it's well known that he takes "oily shits"? Why

>its in my nature I guess
Woah so deep, what a faggot

People take this hack seriously

>>16984278
>t. Didn’t have a tough life

>>16984300
If all Bukowski got to offer is drinking, which everyone does. smoking, which all the people of his generation did. fucking hookers, which is pretty pathetic I guess. and taking oily shits, which is probably from drinking, smoking and a poor diet, which is self inflicted and since when do you look at someone with ibs or runny shits and think "wow what a tough life".

The guys a clowm and so are his fans

>>16977777
No one man should have this much power

>>16984691
To add all those things are pathetic not tough. Someone born poor, in a shitty country, with no parents, grew up around war etc. That's a tough life, Bukowskis just living an incel lifestyle which is pathetic not tough

i dont like him cause he lived a tough life. I like him cause he lived.

It's funny how he was such a Chad young and then his looks instantly went to shit

Bukowski reads easy because he lived easy. Your eye can tread seamlessly across the pages prose without the need of a double scan, or a second thought. And that is precisely the point. His life did not invite struggles, so why would his prose demand any effort from his readers. His insights(These should be called Surface sights as they are the antithesis of depth) are as deep as any half-wit assumption we are better off ignoring. So, in sum. Bukowski sat at a type writer, wrote his observations peppered by his oily-shits (Probably from pancreatitis) and after being submitted to the editor for refinement, exhumed flagrance.

Life is hard, and if we try to simplify it, things will get much worse.

He was raised by his single father who beat him senslessly over a long period of time, before getting relentlessly bullied by his classmates for having burns and boils on his face.
