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.Charles Bukowski details the long, lonely years of his own hardscrabble youth in the raw voice of alter ego Henry Chinaski. From a harrowingly cheerless childhood in Germany through acne-riddled high school years and his adolescent discoveries of alcohol, woman and the Los Angeles Public Library's collection of D.H. Lawrence, Ham on Rye offers a crude, brutal and savagely funny portrait of an outcast's coming-of-age during the desperate days of the Great Depression.

Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, it's most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother and brought to the United States at the age of three. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944 when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirtyfive.He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
