Title: Factotum
Author: Charles Bukowski
Format: Paperback
Genre: Fiction / Literary Fiction / Contemporary / Classic
Language: English
Factotum is a raw and darkly humorous novel that follows a drifting anti-hero through a life of odd jobs, alcohol, and survival on the margins of society.
Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's semi-autobiographical alter ego, drifts across America, moving from one dead-end job to another, from one woman to the next, and from one drink to another.
Unconcerned with conventional success, Chinaski lives on his own terms, embracing failure, chaos, and the harsh realities of life with blunt honesty.
Through gritty and often humorous storytelling, Bukowski paints a vivid portrait of life on the fringes exploring themes of poverty, rejection, independence, and the search for meaning in an indifferent world.
Both brutally honest and strangely compelling, Factotum is considered one of Bukowski's most iconic works.
