5.0étoiles sur 5 Pick Up A Copy!, Juil 4 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Factotum (Paperback)
Just picked up Factotum by Bukowski, after reading The Losers Club by Richard Perez. Strange 'cause both books are somehow related. The connection? The drudgery of menial work! The dehumanizing affects of a life-wasting occupation is an underlying theme, mixed with accounts of failed relationships and an overall freefloating narrative structure. In Factotum, Buk recounts his mostly autobiographical adventures as a floating unemployed (and often unemployable) menial worker. He travels from state to state, writing and collecting rejection letters from magazines, and tries to deal with the unending humiliation of low-paying jobs and rat-trap apartments and fragile relationships. Often, he ends up hitting the bottle and, in bars, ends up meeting up with fellow drunks and losers and desperate ladies struggling to scrape by. There's humor here but also a lot of truth, some it stark and grim. One line that blew me away, gave me chills was: "Ain't no women on skid row." This was over Chinaski's anxiety regarding a female drinking companion. The style of the book is simple and easy and direct, and I found myself sucked into it right away. A child could read this book. I also read the whole book in one day, which for me is a first. Definitely pick up a copy of this novel. It's not as famous as his other novels, but as a memorable account/study of a "working stiff," worth owning, especially if you like Buk and his "down and out" view of life and appreciate his humor.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great Book, Nov. 21 2008
Par Benjamin Anderson (Fredericton, NB CAN) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Factotum (Paperback)
Factotum, though not as good as Ham on Rye or Post Office, is still a brilliantly dry, witty, and crude book. Sparsely written in a style akin to Post Office (minimalist in nature), Factotum tells of a young Chinaski jumping from useless job to useless job.

Hilarious, and maybe his most well-written novel, Foctotum is worth your time (though seemingly lacking the substance of Women and Ham on Rye).

5.0étoiles sur 5 His best, Sep 14 2006
This review is from: Factotum (Paperback)
I'd read a lot of Bukowski, such as his "Women," and his "Post Office," which up until now, I thought was his best work. But when I heard a movie was being made of "Factotum," I had to go out and get a copy. Turns out, it's even better than his other works. I'm a little embarassed that I waited so long to read this.

Also recommended "Katzenjammer" by McCrae and Bukowski's "Post Office."
