Description
“Either the work of John Fante is unknown to you or unforgettable. He was not the kind of writer to leave room in between.” — New York Times
“Fante was my God.”–Charles Bukowski
John Fante’s classic California novel details the adventures of his alter ego, Arturo Bandini, a young writer in Great Depression-era Los Angeles. Struggling to succeed, Bandini falls into an obsessive love affair with the elusive, mocking, unstable Camilla Lopez, a Mexican waitress. Yet just as fortune looms with the publication of his first novel, everything falls apart when Camilla has a nervous breakdown and disappears–propelling Bandini to reject the writer’s life.
