You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense

By: Charles Bukowski

Narrated by: Stephen Mendel

Charles Bukowski examines cats and his childhood in You Get So Alone at Times, a book of poetry that reveals his tender side. The iconic tortured artist/everyman delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions.

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates

“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter "well, that's just the way it is..." sometimes when everything seems at its worst when all conspires and gnaws and the hours, days, weeks years seem wasted-- stretched there upon my bed in the dark looking upward at the ceiling I get what many will consider an obnoxious thought: it's still nice to be Bukowski.

How did they let this pass?

This guy was reading this as if it was metrical. This is super free verse and this guy sounding like an AI robot just butchered at least half this book, the fact that there was a producer on this and a director and None of these people had ever heard bukowski Read is just disgusting That company like Ecco and Harper Collin’s would let something like this slide. It’s almost like they don’t want people to like his work and hoping that if they continue to put out bad stuff his fans base will drop off. It’s really sad. :/
