The John Fante Reader

by John Fante

The John Fante Reader Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

It's not every day that a writer, almost unheard of in his lifetime, emerges twenty years after his death as a voice of his generation. But then again, there aren't many writers with such irrepressible genius as John Fante. "The John Fante Reader" is the important next step in the reintroduction of this influential author to modern audiences. Combining excerpts from his novels and stories, as well as his never-before-published letters, this collection is the perfect primer on the work of a writer — underappreciated in his time — who is finally taking his place in the pantheon of twentieth-century American writers.

About the Author

John Fante was born in 1909 in Colorado. He lived most of his life in Los Angeles, where he wrote many novels, short stories, and screenplays. Ask the Dust, first published in 1939, was out of print for decades but is now widely reconized as an essential L.A. novel. Fante died in 1983 at the age of seventy-four.
