Revue de presse :

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

"He brought everyone down to earth, even the angels" (LEONARD COHEN)

"In an age of conformity, Bukowski wrote about the people nobody wanted to be: the ugly, the selfish, the lonely, the mad" (Observer)

"Sometimes funny and always sad, Ham on Rye is written in an admirably hard, bare, vivid style" (Times Literary Supplement)

"Both powerful and, where appropriate, extremely funny" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Reflective, humane, tremendously evocative and absorbingly readable" (The Times)

"This great novel is Bukowski's supremely honest account of a twisted childhood" (Howard Sounes author of Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life)

"The Thing about Bukowski is, when you read what he has to say, he's right" (SEAN PENN)

"Raunchy yet lyrical, occasionally hilarious while abysmally sad" (San Francisco Chronicle)

"We all knew Bukowski was a tough guy, but who would have guessed that even the grave could not shut him up?" (BILLY COLLINS)

"There is a real poignancy in the people encountered in Bukowski's work" (New York Times Book Review)

"A Laureate of American low life" (Time) --Roddy Doyle

Biographie de l'auteur :

Charles Bukowski is one of America’s best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its 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 two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.
