Summary
Charles Bukowski: Faktotum
Faktotum, Charles Bukowski's second novel, is one of his best works. Through these pages stained with cigarette ash and washed by a river of beer, wanders Henri Kinaski, a writer trying to make his way through the urban wasteland of America immediately after the Second World War.
Discharged from military service, Kinaski wanders the New World, from city to city, changing professions at an incredible speed. Insufficiently motivated to keep any job, Kinaski sinks into an abyss in which the images of pathetic prostitutes, monotonous rental rooms, drunken tirades, mad passion... Kinaski, in this masterpiece by Charles Bukowski, crosses a violent path from one drink to another.
