Hi /lit/

Just finished Under The Vulcano and Moscow-Petushki. Was impressed by the description of the alcoholism of the authors and their lyric prose. Anyone got any recommendations?
Also drunk thread.

Bukowski is something of a given when it comes to drunkards writing about drunkards. As far as poetry goes, Li Bai (Li Po) loved his wine.

I read Under the Volcano this past winter. Awesome book. One of my favorites this year. Good enough that I plan on rereading it some time in the future.

Now that I think about it, nothing Li Bai wrote suggested he was a full-on lush. Still, he loved his wine.

Tom Waits' mid 70s stuff always makes me want to have a glass of whisky.

Reading UTV right now. So good. Although alot of allusions and references go way over my head. I will have to revisit it later.
