Dreams from Bunker Hill (2002)

Another brief but enjoyable journey to old Los Angeles with Fante and alter-ego Arturo Bandini. Arturo is more adult and even-keeled, although I imagine that this novel can't take place too long after "Ask the Dust". Bunker Hill is still Arturo's stomping ground, though we get to journey with h...

Wait Until Spring, Bandini (2002)

Non lo so se ormai si tratta solo del considerevole aiuto di un entusiasmo nostalgico appena apro un altro Fante da bruciare, ma possibile che mi ritrovi per la seconda volta di filo a dire eh, ma questo è il migliore di tutti? Mi era già successo con La confraternita dell'uva che mi aveva conqui...

The Road to Los Angeles (2002)

An ugly little debut with First Novel written all over it. It's not difficult to see why it remained unpublished during Fante's lifetime. The most surprising and disappointing aspect is how unrecognizable Bandini is here compared to the glorious Ask the Dust (see my review), offensive and obnox...

Full of Life (2002)

E' la prima volta che leggo Fante e, con gran soddisfazione, dico che Full of life mi è piaciuto molto. Non amo l'idea di vivere in campagna fra viti e campi, però chissà perché nella letteratura è un ambiente che invece mi piace molto. Ecco, forse più che altro il paesaggio della campagna è bell...

The Wine of Youth (2002)

"È lui!""Shhhhhh, abbassa la voce.""Èluièlui!""Smettila di indicare col dito...""Ma ti dico che è lui! Mi conosce, vivo con lui, stai tranquilla, guarda!""Ma vieni via, smettila, non strillare...per favore..."Mi hanno portato via. Trascinata di peso come un manichino da vetrina in allestimento. H...

Ask the Dust (1980)

The city was the same, but I was afraid. The streets lurked with danger. The tall buildings forming black canyons were traps to kill you when the earth shook. The pavement might open. The street cars might topple. Something had happened to Arturo Bandini. He walked the streets of one-story buildi...

The Brotherhood of the Grape

There was no anxiety in her voice, no emotion, only a flat acceptance of what had to be. “No, Mama. I just came from the hospital.” “How is he?” “Okay,” I said, finding a bit of her face in the darkness. “Dr. Maselli’s with him.” I sat on the top porch stair and leaned against the post. “Ifs been...

Ask The Dust

Another magazine wanted The Long Lost Hills in digest form. A hundred dollars. I was rich again. A time for amends, for righting the past. I sent my mother five dollars. I cried when she sent me a letter of thanks. The tears rolled down my eyes as I quickly replied. And sent five more. I was plea...
