Factotum

I'd never read any Bukowski before, a horrible omission. So I picked one at random - I gather they're all sort of interchangeable. Factotum reads like William S Burroughs if he we straight, a drunk (not a junkie), and wrote linear narratives. I'm not sure if that description is compliment or an insult to Bukowski. I enjoyed reading the book fairly well, at least it made good airplane reading. Then again, I like filth.
