If you're feeling worn, rebellious, or raw—grab "Factotum." Bukowski doesn’t sugarcoat life's underbelly; instead, he presents a mercilessly honest, yet oddly captivating narrative of a man living by his own rules. It's the brutal reality of Chinaski's existence, narrated with sardonic wit, that will make you appreciate the anti-hero's endurance in the face of relentless adversity.
