Reply #13: I have only read one Bukowski novel [View All]

read lots of his poetry though. He's solid. Very entertaining.

You may be interested in reading "Under The Feet Of Jesus" by Helena Maria Viramontes. She's fantastic. It's a good novel for those interested in social justice, as it's about migrant farm workers. Well, a family of them. Fantastic writer, very beautiful prose, I couldn't recommend her more highly. I would also say anything by James Welch, although "Winter In The Blood" is a great starting point. And if you like Cormac McCarthy, and you haven't already read them, I would also suggest "Blood Meridian" and "No Country For Old Men." If you like poetry maybe try "Loose Woman" and "My Wicked, Wicked Ways" by Sandra Cisneros. I would also suggest "Shapeshift" by Sherwin Bitsui, he's a Navajo poet and a good friend of mine.
