Ham on Rye

I don't generally like food memoirs or books about food (except cookbooks). Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski is neither. It has a tasty title, but Bukowski's writing is full of violence, poverty, druges, booze, and sex. No surprise that it's based on real life.

But if the title makes you hungry, you can get ham on rye, ham and cheese on rye, or liverwurst on pumperknickel for $1.89 at the German Town Deli on Slater. Sour pickles extra.
