Biographical History

Ben Pleasants was a Los Angeles-based writer. He was born on August 6, 1940 in Long Island, New York, and graduated from Hofstra University in 1962 before moving to California with his first wife. He began graduate studies in English at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1964.
While at UCLA, Pleasants became close friends with Steve Richmond and Charles Bukowski, seminal figures in the Los Angeles "Meat School" of poetry. Pleasants then joined the mimeograph revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. He was published in The Wormwood Review alongside contributors like Bertolt Brecht and Henry Miller, and was praised for his poetry collection, Airmail from Oblivion (1975).
Pleasants began working at the Los Angeles Times in 1967. His reputation as a reviewer led to his work being published by the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, the Los Angeles Free Press, and other Southern California periodicals. From 1978 to 1983, he conducted a series of interviews with John Fante, later collected by Beat Scene and 3:AM Magazine. His lauding of Fante helped spur a resurgence in the author's popularity, and cemented his semi-autobiographical novel Ask the Dust (1939) as a seminal work of Los Angeles literature.
In 1984, Pleasants left the LA Times over his attempt to review The Fateful Triangle, Noam Chomsky's book on US involvement in Middle East politics. Pleasants continued to write, publishing in periodicals such as the L.A. Free Press, L.A. Vanguard, L.A. Reader, Los Angeles Magazine, and Malibu Magazine. He also worked as a teacher for the Los Angeles United School District for thirty years.
Pleasants was also a noted playwright. His plays include Winter in Mongolia (1975), The Hemingway/Dos Passos Wars (1998), and Contentious Minds: The Mary McCarthy/Lillian Hellman Affair (2001). Late in life, Pleasants also turned to novels, publishing the sexually explicit tragicomedy Spearmint Leaves (2010) and The Victory of Defeat (2011), a thinly disguised account of Bukowski's activites during World War II.
In 2004, Pleasants published the memoir Visceral Bukowski: A Walk Through the Sniper Landscape of American Letters. Although critically praised, the book became controversial due to Pleasants' claims that Charles Bukowski harbored Nazi sympathies. Pleasants died of a heart attack on April 30, 2013 at age 72.

Scope and Content

This collection documents the writings, publishing attempts, and political opinions of Ben Pleasants, as well as his relationship with Steve Richmond and Charles Bukowski, seminal figures in the "Meat School" of the Los Angeles poetry scene.

Some of the significant organizations and topics represented in these files are: Charles Bukowski and the Meat School, the broader Los Angeles literary and drama scene, mimeograph publishing, John Fante and the Hollywood Ten, Nazi sympathies in America, and Stalin's atrocities as leader of the USSR.
