Description: 1975 first trade printing, Black Sparrow Press (Santa Barbara, California), 6 3/8 x 9 1/4 inches tall hardcover in publisher's plain (unprinted) acetate dustwrapper, green paper-covered boards over black cloth spine, printed title label to spine, orange endpapers, title page printed in black, green and orange, 205 pp. One of 1,000 copies printed. The slightest of bumping to the lower edge of the front board. Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in an only slightly smudged acetate dust jacket. ~SP24~ [1.5P] The first edition of one of the most popular works of Charles Bukowski (1920-1994), a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Bukowski's second novel, Factotum was adapted into a film of the same name in 2005, directed by Bent Hamer and starring Matt Dillon, Lili Taylor and Marisa Tomei. Factotum is a picaresque novel set in the 1940s, following Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's perpetually unemployed, alcoholic alter ego, who has been rejected from the World War II draft and makes his way from one menial job to the next (hence a factotum). Bukowski's writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his adopted home city of Los Angeles and addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work. The FBI kept a file on him as a result of his column Notes of a Dirty Old Man in the LA underground newspaper Open City.

Price: US$450.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: A Fine copy in an Acetate dust jacket. This is one of 1000 Trade copies. This is one of Charles Bukowski's best novels; in this beer-soaked, novel we follow the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next. First Printing of the First US Trade Edition.

Description: One of 250 signed/numbered hardcover copies, octavo size, 209 pp., signed by Bukowski. Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was "a prolific underground writer who used his poetry and prose to depict the depravity of urban life and the downtrodden in American society. A cult hero, Bukowski relied on experience, emotion, and imagination in his work, using direct language and violent and sexual imagery" (n.b., from the web site of the Poetry Foundation). As much as he achieved popular acclaim during his lifetime, his reputation and following have only increased after his death. This volume, "Factotum" is Bukowski's second novel. "Set in the 1940s, the plot follows Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's perpetually unemployed, alcoholic alter ego, who has been rejected from the World War II draft and makes his way from one menial job to the next" (n.b., quote from Wiki). ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter bound in orange cloth over decorated tan paper boards, paper spine label with orange and brown lettering, orange endpapers, title page with a large brown decoration and author's name in red, signed at the colophon by Bukowski in black felt-tip, this number 26 of 250 signed/numbered copies (there were also 75 deluxe signed copies with artwork by Bukowski); octavo size (9.25" by 6.25"), pagination: [1-10] 11-205 [1, blank] [1, colophon, signed by Bukowski in black marker] [1, blank] [1, black and white photograph of Bukowski with bio]. ___CONDITION: Fine overall, with clean boards, the spine not sunned (still bright orange), straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a very shallow ding to the fore-edge of the front board near the top edge, else fine.
