Charles Bukowski - Small Conversation In The Afternoon With John Fante
Work rating: Medium

working in Hollywood and he was

end of the afternoon and so I had to help him
into a taxi
day after day after day. 

"but when he left Hollywood, I stayed on, and while I
didn`t drink like that maybe I should have, I might have
had the guts then to follow him and get the hell out of
there."

Faulkner.: 

"you mean that?" he asked from the hospital
bed, smiling.
