Henry Chinaski is a character Charles Bukowski uses a lot in his writing. He is said to be sort of an alter ego of his.
He uses this character to show elements of himself in a fictional setting. The basis of fact within his poetry and novels
is uncertain.
This character of Charles Bukowski is said to be a version of himself. It's hard to decipher which parts of the character
are real and what is not. Just as Sylvia Plath's character in the Bell Jar was said to be an autobiographical character because
of the similar lives they led, so Henry Chinaski was revealed as an autobiographical character as well.
