Henry Chinaski Henry Charles "Hank" Chinaski is the literary alter ego of the American writer Charles Bukowski, appearing in five of Bukowski's novels, a number of his short stories and poems, and in the films "Barfly" and "Factotum". Although much of Chinaski's biography is based on Bukowski's own life story, the Chinaski character is still a literary creation that is constructed with the veneer of what the writer Adam Kirsch calls "a pulp fiction hero." Works of fiction that feature the character include "Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live With the Beasts" (1965), "Post Office" (1971), "South of No North" (1973), "Factotum" (1975), "Women" (1978), "Ham on Rye" (1982), "Hot Water Music" (1983), "Hollywood" (1989), and "Septuagenarian Stew" (1990). He is also mentioned briefly in the beginning of Bukowski's last novel, "Pulp".
