Description
Factotum is a gritty and confessional novel about a man's downward spiral through life. Henry Chinaski, a loner and a hopeless drunk, drifts from one dead-end job to another, from one woman to another, and from one bottle to the next.
With a black sense of humour, Bukowski chronicles his own life, reflecting the harsh realities of his slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs, and his experience of low life urban America.
This revised edition of Bukowski's highly autobiographical first novel offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years, whose writing continues to be widely read and admired today.
