Factotum (English, Paperback) By Charles Bukowski

Factotum is Charles Bukowski’s gritty, darkly humorous novel about Henry Chinaski — Bukowski’s literary alter ego — drifting from one low-paying job to another in 1940s America. Through barrooms, boarding houses, and dead-end gigs, Chinaski offers sharp, unfiltered commentary on life, love, work, and human absurdity. Bukowski’s raw prose and biting wit capture the struggles of survival and the search for meaning on society’s fringes.
