One 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.

读的时候总有错觉,如果上次辞职成功,我大概能成为当代Chinaski了。倒是一个比较自在理想化的自己。
评分"My ambition is handicapped by laziness."
评分同样是自传性质的小说,个人觉得factotum比post office要好,他让我感受到一种更加自在的堕落,面对一个操蛋的世界,再反思自己的生活,就像作者说的,I felt guilty, but I felt no anger.主人公的女友评价他说,the others are only 10 percent there or twenty percent, you're all there, "all" of you is very there, it's so different.有些人似乎天生就注定是社会的loser,但他还是有资格在早上起床打一炮喝一杯之后来听几首Schubert或者Beethoven的钢琴曲。这个社会已经有太多的成功者了,就像一排排安静的自行车,我想过的有趣点
评分The beginning part is most interesting. It made me laugh a lot though sometimes it seemed really sad. He's telling the truth, nothing more.
评分because it is dark, because it is the reality
