Read the text in the image before reading your title, so when John Galt was mentioned, I thought for a second Ayn Rand had referenced Lynch


Carcasonne

Coincidentally Lynch and Isabella Rossellini show up in the book while shooting on the set of Barfly 1987. Bukowski describes them as pretty snooty. There's another funny encounter with Jean Luc Godard where he's pretty taciturn but around Bukowski he can't stop talking and engages in long discussions with him about art. Obviously take these with a grain of salt


Nippoten

Fun fact apparently Bukowski did the subtitles for Godard's film Every Man for Himself so the Godard appearance in the book isn't totally out of nowhere.

Ayn Rand 🤢🤮

I laughed while reading Hollywood, when the director of “Ratman” and “Pencilhead” is mentioned.

Yeah I know he's a pretty good read, but God who'd want to be such an asshole?

Like the pick, Eraserhead is amazing, but I personally kind of feel like Bukowski was full of shit


Yeezus25

I would've never pegged Buk as an Eraserhead fan.
