Factotum by Charles Bukowski Book Summary

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author

“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter

One of Charles Bukowski's best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next.

Charles Bukowski's posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.

Almost worth the ridiculous price. I remember reading this open vein of a book when I was in law school. I knew that law school was a pretty stupid and boring idea, and this hand grenade confirmed that belief. It is just so remarkably funny and sad and brilliant. The phrase "job hunting time once again came belching and farting across my mad horizon" - or however it goes - has stuck in my head these 18 years since I read Factotum. It's that type of thing that had me nodding and snorting and brooding and laughing all the way through this masterpiece of splatter. I might even pony up and buy it again.

What a writer. I love this book as much as all his others, the rawness of the characters and the derelict senarios. LOVE IT!
