I just finished reading Factotum by Charles Bukowski again.I had read it a few years ago but i picked it up last night and read it in about three hours.Its loosely based on the authors life but he calls the character Henry Chinaski.It was first made into the movie Barfly(1987) starring Mickey Rourke as Henry.Faye Dunnaway was also the second main lead.The they actually released a "slight" remake called Factotum with Matt Dillon which was a huge disappointment.But the book is a great funny read.Maybe a bit crude for some readers.
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
