- Is it true that you praised a book by Mussolini in your first interview ever, for an italian paper?

"It's true. Here in America we're taught that Mussolini is a fool and a madman. One day I was in a bookstore and I found one of his books. It was a very smart book. I don't care about politics, I'm not a communist, a fascist or an anarchist. I just want to go my own way, without politics or God's help."





Bukowski, you're freaking amazing.
