He is right, Lowry has some silly metaphors…like ‘ it got dark like the house of usher’ ahahahaha like obvious drop how educated I am or what…

Bukowski never impressed me much.

2:18 Based

A philistine imbecile. Conned everyone from a one-legged fat lady to Sean Penn. Pathetic.

Bukowski must have loved Cormac McCarthy.

I have to agree, Under the Volcano is a brilliant book but it is sometimes boring and I would find myself having to reread bits because I had lost concentration. It's interesting how Bukowski and Lowry were both tortured alcoholic writers who played on that archetype for fame, but they are very different.

There's a difference between alcoholism and heavy drinking. Lowry was an alcoholic, buk was a heavy drinker. I don't think Lowry would be getting up at 5am to work the post office.

When I was a drunk, I couldn't take in Lowry. Now that I'm sober, I can admire Lowry so much more, tho he was a drunk, too. I soo understand Bukowski, but he is so wrong. Have another. Malcolm Lowry was a fantastic writer, you just have to have a mind for it.

At last someone dares to speak out what I always felt when reading Lowry...

I agree with Bukowski on most writers, but he's got Lowry all wrong...great, great writer

"What are the three secrets to great writing, Charles?" "Bim, bim, bim!" 🤣

bukowski needs his head held. Nutter

This must be a case of jealousy because Under the Volcano is a masterpiece

'Well, you see Lowry drank too much.' Bukowski.

Lowry proved that despite drinking, he failed as an artist. Bukowski proved that he made great art with alcoholism. "Under the Volcano" would have made a good short story. But as it was, it became mostly uninspired, stupid, boring babble. “An intellectual is a man who says something simple in a difficult way. An artist is a man who says something difficult in a simple way.”

Bukowski likely simply too drunk to be able to read Lowry. Under the Volcano a brilliant book.

Ich schätze Bukowskis literarische Arbeit. Langweilt mich Lowry? Natürlich nicht. Hat Lowry Bukowski gelangweilt? Das Interview deutet darauf hin; seinem Werk wäre es aber dennoch sehr wahrscheinlich zuträglich gewesen, wenn der Mut zum Lesen die Langeweile überstiegen hätte. Davon ab gibt es sehr glaubwürdig beschriebene Abende, die im Delirium mit Lowry verbracht wurden; Bukowski nächtigte derweil wahrscheinlich in schäbiger Unterkunft. Meine Wahl ist getroffen. Darauf einen Mescal.

pim pim pim pim pim pim -> masterpiece

He should’ve reread Volcano

never liked Bukowski, but “yawned myself to shit” is the kind of funny only a maniac drunk could drum up and it is great

If he showed a bim with juice then I'd believe it

If Buk, never mentioned Lowry and just talked about common mistakes young writers fall into then there's merit to his words.

Lowry could drink and write Buk under the table, different league. Buk was an ego on steroids who wrote some fair to middling poetry in the vernacular of LA.

TRUTH BE TOLD Bukowski lied About what happened When he he met Neal Cassady Driver, For the Merry Pranksters Dean Moriarty, From On The Road Bukowski Bigs himself up Gives himself lines When in point of fact He hardly said a word Cowered, if truth be told Bukowski Embarrassed himself again Talking about Malcolm Lowry From Under The Volcano On German television Maybe he didn't think Anyone would watch it Well, here we all are On a Sunday morning Frowning like vicars Looking at Bukowski Over the top of our spectacles

Lowry is a great writer and Under The Volcano is a masterpiece. In this clip Bukowski comes across as bitter, ignorant and stupid. Very embarrassing

Anyone come here because of Bukowski and not Lowry?

i dont know why people get so salty that one writer doesn't like another. And they take offense in the tone, when they well know he was an alcoholic and visceral. Get over yourselves people.

I love this interview. “In the words of a friend of mine, I drink to make other people interesting.”

you're drunk, charles, go home.

Thankfully not all writers follow Bukowski’s advice. Writers need to write as they need. That’s it. A lot of Bukowski’s writing is “dull shit” as he described it.

Monumentally wrong

Poor idiot

Four lines from Ivonne's description or the prison of paradise metaphor make a great book, even though long barranca pargraphs. chinaski never hangover in here

Well, to not recognize the complete mastery and creativity of Malcom Lowry reveals Bukowski's profound lack of insight. Under the Volcano is unquestionably one of the masterpieces of twentieth century literature. It is breathtaking in its scope, depth, and complexity of style and composition. Clearly, Bukowski doesn't like long sentences, but there is more literary analysis than just that. Are we going to dismiss Proust based on that criteria alone? Sheer idiocy.

I love Bukowski, but he is a bit of a bastard, so I'll take what he says about other authors with a grain of salt.

lol the interviewer so obviously disagrees with him

bim-bim-bim bim-bim-bim

What makes this juice head think he's better than Lowry.

He's spot on and anyone who disagrees is a fucking bore!

Lowry went to great efforts to make sure his language in Under the Volcano was as perfect as it could have been, he breaks all the rules of English just so it can flow and be alive in every sentence, I will never understand anyone who is bored by Under the Volcano

What an odious and silly little drunk, dissing great writers by boringly repeating the mantra of Bim Bim Bim. Whose names are remembered? Lowry and Faulkner.

Bukowski was an ignorant, misogynistic sack of shit.

Glory Lawry!

It's true, most of Lowry's stuff is so basic and formulaic, puts me to sleep every time.

Bukowski, such an overrated drunk. Any odd turd that Lowry left floating in a back water cantina toilet probably expressed more truth and poetry than in all of Bukowski's scribbles.

Blah, blah, blah...

I do admire some of Bukowski’s work, but as others have stated here, it’s quite unfortunate how ignorant and silly his remarks are here. I do think he certainly had some underlying jealousy regarding how popular and well received Under The Volcano was upon its release, while Buk struggled for years, yet that struggle made for some of Buk’s best writing. His flagrant dismissal of Lowry’s obvious talent is really embarrassing. I completely disagree with him here, Lowry had pace and plenty of “juice” in his prose, it was just presented in a different way, through symbolism and at times convoluted passages that while not Buk’s style, still described the personal existential hell of alcoholism and humanity in a strikingly original and masterful way.

dat scat

“juice”

Fucking poser. Not fit to lace Lowry’s boots.
