A very Bukowski New Year: ringing in the new with Charles

In this excerpt from his Blue Spark memoir, writer Michael D. Meloan recalls a New Year's Eve spent with the great writer, poet ... and drinker.

"Where's your drink?!" Bukowski demanded.

"This is my drink," said the man, holding up a Calistoga water.

Bukowski turned to a woman nearby, "Where's your drink?"

"I don't drink," the woman cheerfully replied.

Bukowski went nose-to-nose with her and said, "Then get out! You bore me!" He turned to the man and said, "You get out, too!" Then he looked around the room and shouted, "In fact, I want everybody out. I should be upstairs typing. I might die tomorrow, and I DON'T want to spend my last night on earth with this bunch!"

Click on the link above for the full story of a New Year's Eve spent with Bukowski.

And ... Happy New Year .. .I hope yours is better than this!
