Book cover for In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Prose
Critics seem unusually ill-equipped to discuss and analyze the works of black women intelligently. Generally, they do not even make the attempt; they prefer, rather, to talk about the lives of black women writers, not about what they write.

“The ass is the face of the soul of sex.”
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
“nobody but you

nobody can save you but
yourself.
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
situations.
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
force
to make you submit, quit and /or die quietly
inside.

nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don’t, don’t, don’t.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?

nobody can save you but
yourself
and you’re worth saving.
it’s a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.

think about it.
think about saving your self.
your spiritual self.
your gut self.
your singing magical self and
your beautiful self.
save it.
don’t join the dead-in-spirit.

maintain your self
with humor and grace
and finally
if necessary
wager your self as you struggle,
damn the odds, damn
the price.

only you can save your
self.

do it! do it!

then you’ll know exactly what
I am talking about.”
Charles Bukowski

“Взех си бутилката и отидох в нашата спалня. Съблякох се по боксерки и си легнах. Нищо никога не се оказваше в хармония. Хората просто се хвърляха сляпо на всичко, което им предложат: комунизъм, здравословна храна, дзен, сърфинг, балет, хипноза, групова терапия, оргии, колоездене, билколечение, католицизъм, бодибилдинг, пътуване по света, оттегляне от света, вегетарианство, Индия, рисуване, писане, скулптура, композиране, дирижиране, туризъм, йога, секс, хазарт, пиене, мързел, кисело мляко, Бетовен, Бах, Буда, Христос, сок от моркови, самоубийство, ръчно ушити костюми, частни реактивни самолети, Ню Йорк… а накрая всичко се изпарява и се разпада. Хората трябва да си намират някакво занимание, докато чакат смъртта. Сигурно е добре, че все пак имаме избор.
Аз бях направил своя избор. Надигнах бутилката с водка и започнах да я пия чиста. Руснаците разбират от алкохол.”

“след това Глендолайн изнесе ръкописа си и започна да ни чете. Всъщност не беше лош, но беше съвсем аматьорски и трябваше да се редактира из основи. Глендолайн пишеше така, все едно на читателя ще му е също толкова интересно да научи за нейния живот, колкото и на самата нея — смъртоносна грешка.”
