Factotum

Charles Bukowski is a maniac. A million bums ventured about to become what only he could achieve, and now he is a rock-star. A million more may try and we still might never see another one like him. I don't really know what's Bukowski's point,it's like he sees thorough everyone and no-one is spared. He is extremely honest maybe too much A nasty human being, he may be the only writer I like that I would straight up decline a drink with.
Henry Chinaski changes jobs frequently, he does menial jobs and there isn't a shortage of jobs for him since it's the time of big war. He has a way with women - atleast he thinks so, he is drinking to his death and gets in frequent fights. He thinks he is better than everyone else and it's not hard to hate him.
The book is autobigraphical, Henry Chinaski is the man Bukowski himself. His book is a reflection of the man minus the bits where he slogged on his writing. One could only wonder how a good for nothing bum who couldn't be trusted to hold a job for more than a week even if his life depended on it became Shakespeare of sewage.
