Tale of Ordinary Sadness?  |
|
A slim little thing with just a few pages of Bukowski gamble and madness. The desperate straits of a fading comic are illustrated by the chunky pen of Robert Crumb. This is a winning combo - another Bukowski short, "Bring Me Your Love" was made a little better by the same collaboration. "Theres No Business" is by no means a Bukowski great, and it is possible that he was never at his best when, as here, he felt it necessary to ram home the socio-economic context of a story. That said, the lines are as grittily good as ever.
|
This is worth buying because of the people involved.  |
|
Theres No Business is about a stand-up comedian whose losing his touch. In typical Bukowski fashion the main character is someone you feel sympathy for even though they have no one to blame but themselves for their misfortune. This is worth buying because Bukowski and Crumb are masters of what they do and anything they team up on is instantly a classic.
