Interpretation Concering Books The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship

A book length collaboration between two underground legends, Charles Bukowski and Robert Crumb. Bukowski's last journals candidly and humorously reveal the events in the writer's life as death draws inexorably nearer, thereby illuminating our own lives and natures, and to give new meaning to what was once only familiar. Crumb has illustrated the text with 12 full-page drawings and a portrait of Bukowski.

"A writer owes nothing except to his writing. He owes nothing to the reader except the availability of the printed page...The best reader and the best human is the one who rewards me with his or her absence.""Writing is when I take death out of my left pocket, throw him against the wall and catch him as he bounces back."One of Bukowski's last novels. This one, written in journal form, leads us through a year or so of his later life... a 70 something old man, married and still writing, possibly

I have just been entering writers with the letter B into my Goodreads list and encountered this among my poets. I realised that I had omitted to read the book before today so I sat down and read it through in a few quiet hours. Apparently these journal entries are not classified as poetry but the book sits with my poetry and I am not moving it until I find a good reason why not. Maybe a writer later in the alphabet will sort this out for me. Robert Crumb's illustrations are exactly the correct

Bukowski is old. He is pretty rich. He lives in a house with a pool and a jacuzzi. He goes to the races every day. In the evenings, he writes on his computer which he loves. The man who used to vomit and go to sleep on the roads likes playing computer games on the machine. But he has not lost any of his fire. He comes up with profound (and dare I say, inspirational) writing like this at the age of 70: There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a

It's a collection of diary entries written during Bukowski's last years. It describes his days, his thoughts about the world by observing people in horse races (his daily time killing activity), and random activities. Content-wise I didn't find it that interesting - yet, I've enjoyed the fluency and down-to-earth of the way he writes which makes it a great read.

Read a Spanish translation, I think the editorial was Anagrama. Nothing compared to his style in English and sometimes the translation missed some meaning for being too literal, but the book as a whole has the Bukowski signature to it and it made mee feel like I was getting to know the real writer. Sincere and unapologetic, it inspired me to continue writing, pursue life and accept reality.Oh, and the fact that there are illustrations from now defunct Mad magazine's Mr. Robert Crumb made the

I read this book many years ago, thinking it was a book of Bukowski's poetry when I plucked it from the library shelf. It is actually passages from Bukowski's diary written in the last days of his life.I actually liked Bukowski more after reading these pages. He seemed to have mellowed with age, to have turned into a not so bad old guy.

The final sit down with old man Bukowski. This is his farewell book, so if you like Bukowski, then this should be required reading. Also has some cool illustrations by R. Crumb. This book was everything I thought that it would be.
