Factotum is an autobiographical novel by Charles Bukowski that narrates the life of Henry Chinaski, the author's alter ego, during his youth. Chinaski jumps from one job to another, all sordid and meaningless, while getting drunk and seeking to materialize his life as a writer. The novel offers a brutally funny and melancholically horrified vision of the work ethic and how it can affect the human soul. With his laconic and forceful prose, Bukowski immerses us in the great urban jungle, among the disinherited, prostitutes, and drunks, offering a raw and realistic look at the American Dream.
Henry Charles Bukowski was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles. Bukowski's work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work.
