Beat Scene 49 -- Bukowski, Johnny Brewton, Ken Kesey, Corso, Burroughs

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.

There is a Bukowski piece on the film "Factotum" with Matt Dillon talking about being Chinaski.
