Synopsis "Factotum"

ReseñaOne of Charles Bukowski s best this beer soaked deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II era America. Deferred from military service Chinaski travels from city to city moving listlessly from one odd job to another always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day to day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores sordid rooms dreary embraces and drunken brawls as he makes his bitter brilliant way from one drink to the next.Charles Bukowski s posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow paced low life urbanity and alcoholism and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.

Heinrich Karl Bukowski (Andernach, Alemania, 16 de agosto de 1920-San Pedro, Los Ángeles, 9 de marzo de 1994), conocido como (Henry) Charles Bukowski, fue un escritor de relatos, novelista y poeta estadounidense nacido en Alemania, representante del realismo sucio y considerado como un «poeta maldito», debido a su excesivo alcoholismo, pobreza y bohemia.

La obra literaria de Bukowski está fuertemente influida por la atmósfera de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, donde pasó la mayor parte de su vida. Hoy en día es considerado uno de los escritores más influyentes de la literatura estadounidense y uno de los símbolos del «realismo sucio» y de la literatura independiente.

Bukowski escribió libros de diversos géneros, tales como: diarios, relatos, novelas, poesías, ensayos e incluso llegó a escribir Barfly, un guion cinematográfico basado en su alter ego Henry Chinaski, dirigida por el cineasta francés Barbet Schroeder, película en donde realizó un cameo en un bar. Esta experiencia la recopiló en un libro de relatos, Hollywood (1989).
