	Ham on Rye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Bukowski's novel "Ham on Rye" (1982) is a coming-of age novel in that it tells the story of Bukowski's protagonist, Henry Chinaski, from his birth to his young manhood, ending with the attack on Pearl Harbor.
		The scene of "Ham on Rye" is Los Angeles during the Great Depression, particularly the lower middle-class homes in which Chinaski grows up, as families struggle to survive and to escape from poverty.
		The book shows a young Chinaski forming the desire to be a writer, and beginning to work at his craft and respond to his experiences in a manner that, years later, would result in "Ham on Rye" and in Bukowski's other works of fiction and poetry.

		Ham On Rye, on the other hand, has owned my devotion from the moment I picked it up more than two decades ago.
		There is screaming and fighting on almost every page in the earliest parts of this book and when Henry discovers that he has a way with words in the fourth grade, a silver lining appears in the dark clouds of all this depression-era dysfunction.
		So, I acknowledge that this book has a second act, most books do and if the second part was exactly the same as the first part, it would be a less textured experience than the one that Bukowski offers us.

	The Book Report - Fiction
		This is the book Miller wrote for an LA purveyor of smut in 1941 for a dollar per page.
		The epilogue, an affadvit sworn out by the book's sponsor, Martin Luboviski, in Paris in 1983 on the occasion of its first regular edition is an interesting footnote to Miller's literary career.
		The book itself is a paean to John Thursday, Miller's most notable protagonist and no doubt the guiding influence of much of his life and work.

		This book is another in the Rougon-Macquart cycle (which I haven't read from in ages, say, ten years), the story of a country girl led into Paris by her ne'er-do-well quasi-fiancee, who then flees with a prettier woman.
		That's the other thing -- you could set all of his books on a shelf, have an earthquake that happened to throw the pages of his books all over a room, and be able to reassemble pages at random from the books, and it wouldn't change much.
		This book is drawn from the author's experience with a father who earned a decent salary, but could not make it work for him, and an "adopted" father (the father of a childhood friend, actually), who taught him how to change his thinking about money.

	Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski « Book Review « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
		Charles Bukowski's fourth novel, Ham on Rye, is the semi-autobiographical story of the early years of his alter ego Henry Chinaski.
		Bukowski is often good but in Ham on Rye he's great.
		Sadly, best known as the alcoholic inspiration for the film Barfly (an experience he reflected on in his book Hollywood), it is as a poet, rather than a drunk, that Bukowski should be best remembered.

		Ham on Rye recounts both the comical and tragic events of Bukowski's youth (through the character Henry Chinaski), and provides a nostalgic view of a more innocent time and of an inner-city Los Angeles that has long since vanished.
		Ham On Rye features the same character (Bukowski's alter-ego Henry Chinaski), but focuses on his earlier life, going to school and university, and descending into violent alcholism.
		I found that Ham On Rye was much in the same vein: that is, the story of a non-comformist who has to pay the price in America for not selling out and becoming just another salesman or suit.

	Alibris: Rye
		J. Salinger's famous and enduring chronicle of Holden Caulfield's journey from innocence to experience is the quintessential coming-of-age novel--though it's an unusual one, in which the hero tries to cling to the simplicity of childhood, achieving a kind of maturity almost in spite of himself.
		But when rye is found in one of his pockets, the reasons are not so obvious.
		First published in 1951, Catcher in the Rye continues to be one of the most popular novels ever written as well as one of the most frequently banned books in the United States.

		But Cramer, an eclectic writer of best-selling books on U.S. presidential politics and baseball player Joe DiMaggio, marshals facts and vivid anecdotes to back up his case.
