His Butler's Story (Russian: История его слуги) is a 1987 autobiographical novel by the Russian writer Eduard Limonov. It is about a Russian emigrant who works as a butler for a wealthy American in New York City, detesting both the Americans and the Soviet Union. It was published in English in 1987.[1]

Publishers Weekly wrote that the book has "a certain coarse energy" but is dragged down by "rage and resentment, and a mean-spirited, petulant envy"[2]
