Product ReviewsFactotum by Charles Bukowski (2002, Trade Paperback, Reprint)

If you're going to read, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start.

Once you start page one, you'll quickly realize this book, like all of Bukowski's work, is made from anti-gravity materials.

..It's really hard to put down.

Factotum by Charles Bukowski (1975)

Another well-written Bukowski book, although not nearly his best work. Bukowski fans will greatly enjoy this novel, however for first time Bukowski readers I would reccommend "Ham on Rye." Overall, I enjoyed it, and easily related to the "down-and-out" protagonist, Henry Chinaski, as well as his feelings of apathy, mistrust, and general disgust with his the human race.Read full review...

Factotum

I bought this book because I had recently seen the movie version of it. I also am a Bukowski fan. I wanted to compare the book to the movie. It is a little different, but the movie stuck by the book fairly well. The condition of this book was brand new, which is nice, since I take care of my books. This book will definately be a part of my permanent collection.Read full review...

Worthwhile for Bukowski fans.

A good read on par with "Ham on Rye"
Bukowski is no Dylan Thomas but his
minamilist style works when the marginal
existence of an alcoholic is the theme.
There is a very thin plot as he haplessly
goes from one menial job to another.Read full review...

Factotum, Bukowski

Bukowski Explores HIS VERSION OF "ON THE ROAD" But is LIVING HARD TIMES not going out jollily to find them.

Funny !!!

EASY READ !!!

AMAZING BOOK !!!!

-Aaron Dick

Hilarious!

If you love Bukowski's intelligently crass satire this is the book for you. Henry Chinaski is a character you'll love to hate and oddly can't help rooting for.

It's Bukowski, what else can you say?
