About this product
Product Information
Legendary barfly Charles Bukowski's fourth novel, first published in 1982, is probably the most autobiographical and moving of all his books, dealing in particular with his difficult relationship with his father and his early childhood in LA. Ham on Rye follows the path of Bukowski's alter-ego Henry Chinaski through the high school years of acne and rejection and into the beginning of a long and successful career in alcoholism. The novel begins against the backdrop of an America devastated by the Depression and takes the Chinaski legend up to the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Arguably Bukowski's finest novel.Product Identifiers

Compelling and at times chilling, autobiographical account of 1930s USA's great depression.

I couldn't stop reading.
So far the best and my favourite Buk's book. Day and night without food.. just beer and cigs.. Recommend for Chinaski's damned friends who's didn't read it yet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Too much Ham not enough Rye!
I found it a grim portrait of a very angry young man growing up in a very disturbed family. The writing is bleak, lacking in detail, disjointed and sporadic. I ended up comparing it to a high school essay, too many threads no material linking them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
