Bread with ham

Charles Bukovsky is one of the largest American writers of the twentieth century, the author of more than forty books, including novels, poems, essays and stories. Despite the sometimes shocking naturalism, its texts are full of lyricalness, even a kind of sentimentality.
"Bread with ham" is the most penetrating novel by Bukovsky. Like the "adventures of Geklberry Finn" and the "catcher in rye", he was written in terms of an impressionable child dealing with the duplicity, pretentiousness and vanity of the adult world. A child gradually discovering alcohol and women, gambling and Muzzle, D. G. Lawrence and Hemingway, Turgenev and Dostoevsky.
Bukovsky had no childhood. His father was brutally beaten, and he never experienced his parental love. Therefore, it was very important for the author to create a novel of growing up "bread with ham". It is written from the point of view of an impressionable child dealing with the duplicity and vanity of the adult world
