DBS #136: Nailing Bukowski Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We begin today's episode by discussing the importance of joining a writing group. After that, we talk about our recent reads, including the absolutely crazy novel, "Pulp" by Charles Bukowski. Things take a turn for the weird very quickly in this one! After all of that, we have a quick ranking of Haruki Murakami's books and discuss possibly comparing his work to that of Ryu Murakami's in a future episode.  You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
