Book Reviews of Factotum
Book Review: "A different book"
Summary: 3 Stars
The novel "Factotum" by Charles Bukowski is about an alcoholic whose life consists of moving, finding and losing jobs, alcohol and sex. The protagonist Henry Chinaski drifts from one US American metropolis to another. There he finds a job and a woman, loses the job and leaves the woman and the town again and again. But Henry Chinaski does not seem to care since Charles Bukowski writes in an emotionless and direct way. Bukowski uses short and simple sentences, written in a colloquial language. The book is a first person narration, interesting in its own way but very repetitive. Probably a good book for young people who want to read a "different" book and get to know another side of the American life-style.
