I love Bukowski's books, I think his misogyny is often tongue in cheek and the person he hates the most is always himself. I didn't get on with Miller though I found Tropic of Cancer incredibly hard to read and just plain boring.

South of No North is the best collection of Bukowski short stories! I have a Black Sparrow Press edition. Black Sparrrow also used to publish authors such as John Fante and so on. I may attempt to read Henry Miller again but found him a bit misogynistic. Kerouac leans in this direction slightly sometimes but I give him a pass because the whole mother complex thing that he had probably tempers it a bit. Don't think Bukowski was a misogynist despite what some of his critics said. He was more of an equal-opportunity apartment court Casanova in my estimation. Any opinions on this thematic riff?
