Beat Scene 43 -- Bukowski FBI Files, Brautigan, Kerouac, Jack Hirschman

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 piece about Bukowski's 1978 appearance on the French literary talk show Apostrophes, hosted by Bernard Pivot. There is also a piece on Bukowski and the FBI.
