  • 12.Hum-DIRTY AMERICA READING CHARLES
    IMPACT: Internat ional Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) ISSN(P): 2347-4564; ISSN(E): 2321-8878 Vol. 5, Issue 5, May 2017, 73-80 © Impact Journals DIRTY AMERICA: READING CHARLES BUKOWSKI'S SELECTED FICTION MUBASHIR KARIM Research Scholar, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, Delhi, India ABSTRACT It won’t be an understatement to claim that American Literature reached its fruition in the post-war era. After the two wars, the range of themes in American literature, particularly fiction, showed a significant increase. The writers not only criticized the political and economic atmosphere of the country, but were painfully aware of the disturbing issues like racism and gender inequality. While the fiction of postwar America is usually replete with the names of literary giants like like Don Delilah, Donald Barthelme, Thomas Pynchon, William Burroughs, John Barth, Vladimir Nabokov, Toni Morrison, Joseph Heller, the one writer whose work is equally commendable but rather ignored or shooed away by the ‘mainstream literary groups’ is Charles Bukowski. While Bukowski is usually remembered as a poet, his fictional meanderings within the American landscapes provide the readers with a view of America hasn't predominantly found in any writer of his time. Bukowski fiction, through the image of his alter-ego character, shows the real underbelly of American life. With the incorporation of drug addicts, whores, thieves, menial jobs and an unhinged desperation to live the day, Bukowski not only enlarges the space of the novel, but also extends the scope for readers to look closely at the American life once the orgy of war is over.

Conclusion 24 Works Cited 26 2 Abstract Charles Bukowski is, perhaps, one of the most recognizable authors of the second half of the 20th century because of his direct, almost raw form of writing. Nevertheless, one of the major implications of this work has been neglected: his criticism of the philosophical and social construct of the American Dream, one of the first marks of identity of the United States of America, which is still present to this day. In this context, this essay is focused on the analysis of the Bukowskian depiction of the ideal in the novels Post Office (1971), and Factotum (1975) and on the autobiographical magnum opus of the author, Ham on Rye (1981). It is argued that the American Dream is portrayed as a source of alienation, victimization, and dehumanization of the character and the working class as a whole via the character of Henry Chinaski, Bukowski’s alter ego.

  • Charles Bukowski - Ham on Rye
    Charles Bukowski - Ham on rye - 1/211 The first thing I remember is being under something. It was a table, I saw a table leg, I saw the legs of the people, and a portion of the tablecloth hanging down. It was dark under there, I liked being under there. It must have been in Germany. I must have been between one and two years old. It was 1922. I felt good under the table. Nobody seemed to know that I was there. There was sunlight upon the rug and on the legs of the people. I liked the sunlight. The legs of the people were not interesting, not like the tablecloth which hung down, not like the table leg, not like the sunlight. Then there is nothing . then a Christmas tree. Candles. Bird ornaments: birds with small berry branches in their beaks. A star. Two large people fighting, screaming. People eating, always people eating. I ate too. My spoon was bent so that if I wanted to eat I had to pick the spoon up with my right hand. If I picked it up with my left hand, the spoon bent away from my mouth. I wanted to pick the spoon up with my left hand. Two people: one larger with curly hair, a big nose, a big mouth, much eyebrow; the larger person always seeming to be angry, often screaming; the smaller person quiet, round of face, paler, with large eyes. I was afraid of both of them. Sometimes there was a third, a fat one who wore dresses with lace at the throat.

  • Masaryk University the Portrayal of Women in Charles Bukowski's Work
    Masaryk University Faculty of Education Department of the English Language and Literature The Portrayal of Women in Charles Bukowski's Work Bachelor thesis Brno 2019 Supervisor: Mgr. Barbora Kašpárková Author: Natálie Hlavatá I hereby declare that I worked on my bachelor thesis independently and that I used only the sources listed in the bibliography. I agree with keeping this work in the library of Masaryk University at the Faculty of Education for study purposes. …………………………………………………… Natálie Hlavatá Acknowledgements: I would like to express my very great appreciation to my supervisor Mgr. Barbora Kašpárková for her valuable advice, patience and understanding for my writing tempo. Additionally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and to Charles Bukowski for being authentic. Abstract: The main aim of the bachelor thesis is to provide an analysis of the portrayal of women in selected novels written by a controversial author Charles Bukowski. The analysis deals mainly with description, sexual objectification and position of female characters in novels Women (1978), Ham on Rye (1982), Hollywood (1989) with a special reference to possible differentiation in illustration of female characters considering the time gap in publishing the works and also author's personal life that is inherently connected to his writing and time period he lived in. Key words: Bukowski; Beat generation; women; sexual objectification; description of women; position of women Anotace: Hlavním cílem této bakalářské práce je poskytnutí analýzy vyobrazení žen ve vybraných dílech kontroverzního autora Charlese Bukovského. Analýza se zabývá především popisem, sexuální objektifikací a pozicí ženských postav v románech Ženy, Šunkový nářez a Hollywood, s ohledem na možnou odlišnost ve vyobrazení žen vzhledem k časovému odstupu ve vydání jednotlivých děl a také na autorův osobní život neodmyslitelně spjatý s jeho tvorbou a dobou ve které žil.

  • Ham on Rye C.Bukowski April 3-4, 2015 Sorting
    Ham on Rye C.Bukowski April 3-4, 2015 Sorting out my books in my library I came across this oversized book by the under- ground poet and ’dirty old man’ - Charles Bukowski, known through his by acne deformed visage. Prime candidate for exclusion and to be relegated to a minor book case in the nether regions of the house. But before throwing it away I decided to pursue its contents and ended up devouring the book during an evening, finishing off the last few pages the next morning. It was a long time since I devoured a book, this being something that usually is connected with reading in your childhood. What so great about the book? Does it have hidden qualities? It is a thinly disguised autobiography masquerading as a novel. It depicts the growing up of the author, starting with his first memories under a table in Germany. His father is a sadist, taking particular enjoyment from hitting his son (preferably with his razor strap) and his mother loyal to her husband. His paternal uncles are all good for nothing, drunks and always whoring, one of them depicted from a brief visit of the family while dying from TB in his youth. The cards are not stacked favorably for our unfortunate protagonist. An outsider at school, and the only people who want to associate with him are people more pathetic than himself. There is sexual awakening, lustful phantasies about young female teachers. Under a bandstand at an aerial show he gets his first glimpse of a cunt through the cracks of the planks.

A serial imposter, Nancy has gotten more and more comfortable assuming fake personas, and lines have started to blur between fact and fiction, and performance versus reality. Blindsided by the death of her mother, and facing rejection by a love interest, Nancy’s life begins to unravel. When she meets a couple whose daughter went missing thirty years ago, she becomes increasingly convinced these strangers are her real parents.

I'll have it sent to you. I adore Bukowski's colorful vocabulary and rough 'round the edges vernacular. After formal introductions and a few drinks by the fire, Hester had entered Maja's hut and taken all Maja Thurup could muster and had asked for more. Those orgies-I felt a sense of desperation-those cocks sliding in and out-excuse me Here we are once again in underbelly of urban sprawl, 29th Street Rep style. Yes, there were advantages. How Karl had such a big thing, but Karl wouldn't go down. This was different. Her house was near the hills, a pleasant looking place. Listen you saw my sign. The clothes keep popping out. I love her. Burkhart got out his pencil and paper and charged us for wine and food, transport and lodging. Mark Symzak's set could have easily come right off of the street; it's delightfully lived in and dingy. It was just that sitting in class and hearing all the patriots preach how we should go over and do the beast in, I grew bored. There was always a bad movie first. She wasn't talkative but he was sure she told him once, "You're the greatest lover of them all.

I had no women friends. I looked at them as I passed them on the streets or wherever I saw them, but I looked at them without yearning and with a sense of futility. I masturbated regularly, but the idea of having a relationship with a woman-- even on non-sexual terms--was beyond my imagination.

It was a hellish hot day and the air conditioner was broken. A fly crawled across the top of my desk. I reached out with the open palm of my hand and sent him out of the game. I wiped my hand on my right pants leg as the phone rang. I picked it up. “Ah yes,” I said. “Do you read Celine?” a female voice asked. Her voice sounded quite sexy. I had been lonely for some time. Decades. “Celine,” I said, “ummm…” “I want Celine,” she said. “I’ve got to have him.” Such a sexy voice, it was getting to me, really. “Celine?” I said. “Give me a little background. Talk to me, lady. Keep talking…” “Zip up,” she said.
