Ham On Rye by Charles Bukowski

Ham On Rye by Charles Bukowski

Ham on Rye follows Henry Chinaski, Bukowski's alter-ego, through his troubled high school years to the beginning of a long and destructive struggle with alcoholism. Henry's early experiences are a mix of wry misadventure and emotional turmoil. He struggles with women, sports, his own writing, and, most heartbreakingly, his father - a monster of a man who looms large over almost every page of this wise and tough account of adolescence.

A scorching account of a childhood, adolescence, a life of ugliness, pain, escape, alcohol, lonelinessOften it is's funny - often it's disturbing - Ham on Rye is a powerful book -- Roddy Doyle
