If I like charles bukowski, what other authors will i like?

Answer 1

Do you like Bukowski's poetry or his prose?

I would recommend refering back to the beats. For starters:

Allen Ginsberg & William Burroughs

Answer 2

I loved "Under The Volcano" by Malcom Lowry. Thare are some similarities with Bukowski. There's also William Burroughs "Naked Lunch." The best contemporary(recently published, new author) author that captures much of the spirit of Bukowski I know of is Earl Jesse Stevens. His book "Red Bird Just Like This" has several disturbing poems that Bukowski would love. It's an autobiographical novel that,s witty, melancholy, and straight from the heart.

Answer 3

Try Neal Stephenson - he has an amazing unharnessed intellect and imagination, but Bukowski is UNO of a kind. The movie Barfly is about a brief time in his life. Mickey Rourke played Bukowski and, approiately, did a good job but again, there was, and always will be only one Bukowsk,i so don't expect very much in the way of a literary clone. "There ain't none,"

Answer 4
