Charles Bukowski Facts
Loved to listen to classical music on the radio as he wrote (and drank).
According to Jim Christy's "The BUK Book: Musings on Charles Bukowski," when Bukowski made his first trip to Canada in October 1976, organizers for his Western Front reading in Vancouver, British Columbia were surprised that the men in the audience were far outnumbered by women. Bukowski, who was physically unprepossessing due to the acne scars on his face and his generous potbelly, proved to be catnip to women. According to reading organizer Ted Laturnus, at a post reading party, Bukowski "was besieged with offers of congress." No matter where Bukowski went during in Vancouver, he "had to fight the women off." Bukowski wrote about the Vancouver reading in his 1978 novel "Women."
His literary influences included the Roman poet Catullus, the French fascist Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Fyodor Dostoevsky, John Fante, Conrad Aiken, Sherwood Anderson, Knut Hamsun, Ernest Hemingway, Robinson Jeffers, Ezra Pound and James Thurber.
