35. Yes, when I was young I understood all the anger, but that is all he had, his abilit to express his

anger and misogyny, ditto Burroughs, Fante, Mailer, Bukowski they produced literary versions of men blinded by their own anger, and it was a reflection of their lives, but literate.

Sorry, what I mean is none of those angry men writers seem to have found any redemption for themselves or humanity. I don't think any of them breached their own canyons of self loathing.
I can recognize the value of hearing that anger, they describe the violence of our system, my fault is they do not even acknowledge the existence of another possibility for life.

I am probably too harsh.
Carver is covering similar territory as far as the demographics of the people being written about but the empathy is present he reflects a connection to humanity and reported on the effects of our culture for those without enough financial resources to cushion and ease the process of finding a place in the oppressive hierarchy.
