And also in several short stories, no? I remember having met it not only in Factotum. For instance very recently in one of the stories of your Absence of the Hero, that I am currently reading.In Factotum, Chinaski carries a cardboard suitcase.
I know this is old, but I thought that Ask the Dust was influenced more by Pan. The lines "ask the dust" appear in Pan, as well.My assumption would be Hunger because Fante makes a similar reference in Ask the Dust and Ask the Dust is heavily influenced by Hunger...
In Factotum, Chinaski carries a cardboard suitcase. This is a reference to Knut Hamsun, but I can't track down which work it is from? Is it Hunger, Vagabonds?
Miller did like it, and the other Hamsun works as well. He also shared with Buk a love of Louis Ferdinand Céline.If you haven't read Hamsun's Mysteries you should.
Henry Miller liked it I think...
Yes, yes, and in "real life" you'd kick everyone's asses. We know, Rambo. You're not the first tough guy to come through the door.nerdish bookworms can "act" all tough and self righteous
