When I ordered this book, all I knew about this writer he was a poet. When I think about him now, I think he's a genius. I'm so fascinated by the way this book is written, how Henry Chinaski acts, how he lives his life and the way he does things. I DEFINITELY recommend this book to people who love to read about travels and interesting, different people. Today I also ordered 'post office' and 'women'. Can't wait to read those!

Beschrijving
Henry Chinaski, an outcast, a loner and a hopeless drunk, drifts around America from one dead-end job to another, from one woman to another and from one bottle to the next. Uncompromising, gritty, hilarious and confessional in turn, his downward spiral is peppered with black humour. Factotum follows Charles Bukowski's bestselling Post Office , his highly autobiographical first novel. Bukowski's Beat Generation writing reflects his slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of low life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years. Neeli Cherkovski was a close friend of Bukowski and is the author of Hank: The Life of Charles Bukowski (Random House, 1991).
