Bukowski was a brilliant poet and prose stylist but absolutely not a role model unless you're a complete idiot. That poète maudit shit sounds so charming and romantic until you're looking down the barrel of a gun you're aiming at your own head because of how badly you've fucked up your life pursuing that goal.This advice is for people who can rationalize any personal cost (to say nothing of the cost of one's family and friends as they lose a loved-one) as long as they can be famous.
Don't go down that road. It's one-way.
