Sobre este artículo
Santa Barbara: Black Sparrow Press, 1975. First edition. Fine/Near Fine. One of 750 first trade editions. A nearly Fine copy in Near Fine publisher's acetate jacket. Bound in light green boards with black cloth backstrip and maintaining paper title to spine; with geometric design on front cover. Exceptionally minor wear to extremities (including a loose string from cloth backstrip); jacket with expected scuffing and a few small bumps. Otherwise a clean copy appearing unread.
Bukowski's second Henry Chinaski novel, and the prequel to Post Office (although published after), follow's the author's alter ego as he moves from job to job while pursuing his writing and wrestling with his demons. The book would later be adapted into film (2005). A great example of a Black Sparrow Press book. Run by John Martin the avant-garde press was responsible for supporting and publishing Bukowski's work throughout his prolific career.
Krumhansl 51. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

Sinopsis
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.
