Despite sometimes shocking naturalism, his texts are full of lyricism, even a kind of sentimentality.Who is a factotum? The person who does everything. However, Henry Chinaski does not have to choose. An eternal wanderer, an eternal wanderer, the author's alter ego, he is doomed to a painful search for himself.In 1987, the novel was filmed by Barbet Schroeder under the title "Drunk". The script for it was written by Bukowski himself, and the main roles were played by Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway.In 2005, the film Factotum by Norwegian director Bant Hamer was released.A4 format .pdf with publisher's layout saved.
