Bring Me Your Love

Rating:
Summary: cool Buk novelty item
Review: Bring Me Your Love is a 1983 short story by Charles Bukowski. The story itself is above average for Buk and far superior to There's No Business, which is offered by Black Sparrow Press in this same format. The R. Crumb art is very compatible with the tale. It's the story of a man visiting his wife in a mental institution and the conversations that follow. Typical Bukowski subject matter...madhouses, women, sex, booze & not much hope at all. If your shelves are already filled with the real Buk books, I would definitely recommend adding this to your collection. Keep in mind, we are talking about a fifteen page book here! There's not much tohold, hence the great price.

Summary: WAY Too Expensive for just a tidbit of work!
Review: Compared to the many beefy, thick collections available from both of these creators, this book is horribly anemic! Crumb fans get 5 drawings. Buk readers get 6 pages. If you think that's worth $6, then you won't be disappointed.

The art is nice. The story is about this s.o.b. who visits his insane woman at the asylum, a story that Crumb has parralled in his own comic about visiting his beloved brother in a mental institution. The difference here is that every paranoid thing coming out of the crazy person's mouth seems to be true, as if the crazy person really has been victimized by the s.o.b. visiting her.

This would have worked much better as part of a much larger compilation, but sold as a single story, it ain't much. You will finish this book in 10 minutes and wonder what the point is?!

Both Crumb and Buk have MUCH better books available.

Summary: Love Bukowski? Add this to your collection!
Review: Heard of Bukowski? What's all the fuss about? you may ask. This little gem from Buk will give you a good intro into the world of Bukowski - booze, women, and mayhem!

Summary: Good story with good art
Review: If you like Bukowski, or Crumb, you gotta have this. The story is a typical Bukowski oddball love story, and the illustraions are like Crumb can see the mental pictures you get reading it. A great price too. I saw this one on e-bay going for like 15 bucks, people don't shop around I guess.
