-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

“I hated Hemingway at first, then I came to love him. He wrote like he was on fire, like a man who didn’t have time to lie.”

— Charles Bukowski Author

Dirty realism meets brutal honesty.

Bukowski, poet, novelist, and patron saint of dive bars and broken typewriters, was known for his raw, confessional style. He wrote about the underbelly of American life: booze, loneliness, dead-end jobs, and the bruised poetry of everyday survival. While he first resisted Hemingway’s terse, controlled prose, he eventually recognized its brilliance.

In this quote, Bukowski salutes Hemingway’s urgency, his ability to write with stripped-down power, without pretense or polish.

It’s a grudging respect from one literary outlaw to another.
