Beat Scene 32: Features on Bukowski Photographer Joan Gannij and Bukowski Biographer Howard Sounes

Kevin Ring’s Beat Scene magazine is a treasure for Bukowski and Beat fans alike. I’m in the “never the twain shall meet” camp, but in this case the exception is deserved. Plus, Kevin’s a good guy who put a lot of work and high production value into each issue of the magazine.

Full contents below, but for Bukowski fans there are three interesting features:

·         Notes and Photographs of a Dirty Old Man...twenty year old photographs of Charles Bukowski uncovered...we talk with photographer Joan Gannij

·         Locked In The Arms of a Crazy Life...an extract from the new biography of Charles Bukowski

·         Charles Bukowski....an interview with biographer Howard Sounes

This copy is in Very Good ++ condition with bumps to the corners and some rubbing on the covers. Issues of Beat Scene are getting harder and harder to find these days.
