Un ouvrage inédit de Bukowski

Shakespeare n’a jamais fait ça, c’est un carnet de route inédit publié dès à présent aux éditions 13e Note Éditions. Charles Bukowski y raconte son voyage en Europe, passant par la France et l’Allemagne…

Charles Bukowskiest l’auteur de très nombreux livres, aussi bien des romans que des poèmes. Ce dernier ouvrage,Shakespeare n’a jamais fait ça, est plutôt un carnet de route, de notes écrites par Bukowski à propos de son périple promotionnel en Europe. De Paris, il ne gardera pas beaucoup de points positifs… Tout le monde se souvient d’ailleurs de son esclandre sur le plateau d’Apostrophes, présenté alors par Bernard Pivot. Celles qui cherchent des détails croustillants sur cette anecdote peuvent passer leur chemin : l’auteur passe rapidement ce fait.

Du sud de la France, il ne gardera pas non plus un souvenir très glorieux.Pour lui, la France n’est pas vraiment à la hauteur de sa réputation.Son voyage continue en

Allemagne, où sont organisées des lectures publiques. Il retrouvera également son oncle, ainsi que des amis du monde artistique.

Ce livre est un vrai trésor pour les fans :de nombreuses photos en noir et blanc ponctuent les parties, et le lecteur est directement plongé dans les sentiments de l’auteur. L’occasion de comprendre parfois, au détour d’une phrase, ce qui unissait Charles Bukowski à Linda Lee, sa seconde épouse et muse. Ce qui motive son écriture.

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead." —Charles Bukowski

"Do you hate people?

I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around." —Charles Bukowski(Barfly)

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." —Charles Bukowski

"That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen." —Charles Bukowski(Women)

"My ambition is handicapped by laziness" —Charles Bukowski(Factotum)

"We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.

Charles Bukowski

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is." —Charles Bukowski(Factotum)

"Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you've felt that way." —Charles Bukowski

"You have to die a few times before you can really live." —Charles Bukowski(The People Look Like Flowers at Last)

"there are worse things than being alone but it often takes decades to realize this and most often when you do it's too late and there's nothing worse than too late"

—Charles Bukowski

"An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way." —Charles Bukowski

"Real loneliness is not necessarily limited to when you are alone." —Charles Bukowski

"I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!" —Charles Bukowski

"If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose" —Charles Bukowski

"what matters most is how well you walk through the fire" —Charles Bukowski

"Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them." —Charles Bukowski

"there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock.

people so tired mutilated either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winners.

it hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides.

or the terror of one person aching in one place alone

untouched unspoken to

watering a plant." —Charles Bukowski(Love is a Dog from Hell)

"There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you." —Charles Bukowski
