Ham on Rye - Signed - Charles Bukowski

1982 - Black Sparrow Press, Santa Barbara - First Edition. No. 277 of 350 signed copies.
A fine first edition, signed with an additional drawing of Bukowski’s little man and a bottle, number 277 of 350 copies.

The first of Bukowski’s intentionally? poorly disguised autobiographies, which was followed by ‘Factotum ‘
Post Office’ and ‘Women.

‘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.’ [from the later
HarperCollins edition]
