My favourite, and I love the ambiguity over the interpretation (I rarely agree with historians when it comes to most topics on literature and poetry, and this time is no different) 🤍🤎.

Went to Word on the Water on Friday, the London book barge, and picked up 2 news books. The first a small Bukowski book called Notes of a Dirty Old Man and the second called Seven Brief Lesson on Physics by Carlo Rovelli 💫 📚
so-soI gave it a rating of so-so as I think I enjoyed this one the least out of all the Chinaski novels. Henry is approached by a bizarre French director about writing a screenplay of events taken from Factotum, the formidable years of a drunk writer. Much of the novel is a commentary on the absurd business maneuvering and back-stabbing by film producers and the prima donna egos and odd hang ups of the talent on set. The least dirty book of the series.
pickThe raunchiest of the Henry Chinaski series so far, this novel is like the Ernest Hemingway of candid, low class hook ups. The constant revolving door of women and Henry‘s sexual escapades seem rather like a low budget porn fantasy, but perhaps it‘s my own bias that I just can‘t imagine anyone living this way, but then again, I‘m sure there are those out there who do and perhaps in the 70s this wasn‘t too far fetched. Not a novel for everyone.
