Factotum Bukowski, Charles 20th Century First Editions,Bukowski,Limited Editions

Octavo. Limited edition of only 75 copies. The present copy is #26 signed by the author and with an original art tipped in at front. A gritty, episodic novel about Henry Chinaski, a drifter in 1940s America who bounces from one low-wage job to another - warehouse loader, truck driver, filing clerk, anything that keeps him barely afloat. He spends his nights drinking in bars, chasing women, and writing stories he hopes will get published. Henry Chinaski - Bukowski's alter ego. Hand bound by Earle Gray in 1/4 red cloth over decorative paper covered boards lettered and decorated in red, brown and black, paper spine label lettered in red and brown, orange endpapers, in its clear acetate dust jacket. A fine copy.
