hsubu reviewed Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski
Review of 'Ham on Rye' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I enjoyed the book. Charles Bukowski's prose is never pretentious and he writes without any dishonest attempts to make it sound deep or sophisticated. The perspective with which the main character (based on Bukowski's own experiences) looks at the world, the urban poor he depicts are vivid and even if you do not agree with the perspective you come to understand it. This was my first Bukowski novel and it makes me want to read more from him.
