Misto-Quente (Pocket)

Ham on Rye feels so personal and raw—I'm curious about the real-life influences or experiences that shaped this memoir-like novel.

His struggles and flaws made me root for him, but also made me uncomfortable at times. How did others interpret his character's moral complexity?

His blunt, straightforward prose really hits hard, but I wonder if the style was a conscious choice to mirror the protagonist's worldview or just his natural voice.
