Beat Scene 104: Charles Bukowski At 100 Years Old by Harvey Kubernik

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.

This issue has a long feature written by Harvey Kubernik on his encounters with Bukowski over the years. It has some interesting perspectives on several Bukowski recordings.

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.
