    Synopsis
    "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 second book details the adventures of his alter ego, Arturo Bandini, a young writer in Los Angeles in the late 1930s. Struggling to succeed, Bandini falls in love 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.

      • A heavy hitter in the ring of American literature. Stylistically unique.

        John Fante should be read by every reader of books and purveyor of great singer-songwriters. The mighty mighty Vic Chesnutt was so moved by the Fante novel West of Rome that he wrote a great song which he named West of Rome, and subsequently gave the name to his second album, his first masterpiece. John Fante's brilliance is wildly underrated. The ending of Ask the Dust is almost as memorable as the ending of The Grapes of Wrath, and nearly as moving.
