I just read it. And it's bugging the shit out of me. I have theories, but I'd like to know why Buk titled it with that moniker.

Wow, and I thought Factotum was racy. Women made Factotum look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm! Seriously, for every passage where Chinaski...
Besides his short stories, as far as I know, Bukowski never wrote any fiction. It was all semi-autobiographical stuff. But Pulp, which was of course...
