Bread with ham. Bukovsky Ch.

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 soulful novel by Bukovsky. Like the “Adventures of Geklberry Finn” and “Above the abyss in rye”, it is written from the point of view of an impressionable child who is dealing with 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.
