Visiting Bukowski's Nightmare
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Here I visited the old house Bukowski used to live in when they moved to USA. It was a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood, interesting to think that he would deliver milk to the adjacent houses here with his father, walk home with Red sometimes, sneak out, come home drunk, punch his father, cry in bed, count the planes flying overhead and more.
It was a great experience and I'm glad the renters/future-owners of the house welcomed me to have a look around.
Only now, at the old age of 67, have I recently discovered Charles Bukowski, and quite by accident. I just finished "Ham on Rye" and for someone who has always found sustained reading a chore, my eyes sailed through his words, sentences, paragraphs, pages and chapters like a hot knife through butter. To have found this UA-cam channel is a GIFT - thank you so very much. It is so sweet and poignant to see his childhood home and thank you for pointing out the window through which he would sneak out at night and back in, while his father, thankfully, slept throughout. I have heard it said that someone's work should stand entirely on its own, and while I can appreciate that, I find it so interesting to learn about Mr. Bukowski. It helps me to understand his writing even further. This video helps with this and it is also a very emotional experience to think about his narrative in "Ham on Rye" and at the same time see your video and your appreciation for the man and his life. Thank you so very much for bringing this to us and I will certainly explore your other content. Warmest regards from Toronto, Canada. (Liked and Subscribed.)

I live in U.K. but it would be great if you can do a little tour of bukowski LA.

This is awesome. I live in North California now so I plan to make a drive by this house whenever I travel down that way.

Huh... I always thought you lived in Russia for some reason. Neat video though, I'd re listen to Ham on Rye but by now I can quote it word for word.
I travel a lot.
Neat. I always forget that he didn't grow up in one of the five boroughs
What boroughs?
