Ben recorded these conversations over thirty years ago. They've never been published. This is a small section from those talks in 1979. 125 numbered copies. http://www.beatscene.net/

...major influences but I've never read any reference to him by Buk (albeit I have not read all of Buk's work). Did he really like him? 3. Was John Fante left-handed? (I assume this because I just read 1933 Was A Bad Year.) ...I know these are fuckin retarded and completely peripatetic...

john fante was in the 1933 long beach earthquake. he mentions it in ask the dust (?)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_Long_Beach_earthquake

Try John Fante, if you havn't yet. Wait Until Spring, Bandini Road To Los Angeles Ask The Dust Dreams From Bunker Hill

Not because of the content, but because of how much it sucks. I mean... awful story. But since it was published in Good Housekeeping, it isn't too terribly shocking that this was a "paycheck" story. Still... Ugh. For your amusement, the results are posted below. If you feel like vomiting...

...$30/each, there will be plenty of prints available for years to come. A couple of side-notes....I interviewed Linda Bukowski during the John Fante conference in Long Beach, back in the nineties. The interview was videotaped for permanent placement in the Fante archives at CSULB. There is...

Praise ben pleasants! I'll scratch your back, and you'll scratch mine. You publish me, and I'll praise you to the skies! I'm a writer. I write for other writers and am published in self-published vanity "zines" and cheap rags. My friends love my poems. They really do. I talk about...

Yeah the average reader hasn't heard of John Fante. Any time someone needs a rec at work, I always pull out Ask the Dust. I still have yet to meet anyone who has (convincingly) heard of John Fante.

...a surprise. You don't like his writing. Also, I'm not exactly sure that the folks at HarperCollins expected the massive crowd of John Fante readers to buy his books. John Fante was a great writer, but most people that walk into Borders have not heard of him. If his last name was...

I found the video for the 100th Birthday gathering at UCLA on youtube and was happy to learn Fante's letters, manuscripts, etc. have been donated and will be preserved for future generations to come. The biographer of Full Of Life mentioned how the manuscript of Ask The Dust has gone missing and...

...Fante the younger is working out through the characters in his book, including the DOG. (The DOG?) Seems about as American as John Fante was Italian, and likes the total freedom of American culture despite its harsh realities. As an Italian-American (or vice versa), he either couldn't or...

Poptop, I could read your text if you send it through a pm. ;) Very harrowing, Roni. Like you, I wasn't aware of Buk's death but I do remember Kurt Cobain's one, a month later, though neither knowing him. That's perhaps due to Cobain's death huge media coverage (compared to Hank). I still...

I was 11 so I didn't even know what was going on. Sadder was that John Fante died 5 days before I was even born.

...-- including Victoria Fante (daughter), Jim Fante (son), biographer Stephen Cooper, KCRW's Frances Anderton, and Esotouric co-founder Richard Schave -- visit Zócalo to celebrate the work of John Fante. Full video available here. http://zocalopublicsquare.org/full_video.php?event_id=244

...as a screen-writer in the hopes of being able to marry Nin. (He found the commercialism in Hollywood to be as damaging to the soul as John Fante did though he never met him)...

I was actually thinking about starting a press called Bukowski Sparrow Press and making sure to title my books in a similar vein. Bring Me John Fante's Spaghetti! Joyce Carol Oates Shit On My Doorstep! Diane Wakoski Verbed The Adjective Noun! I think I've got a long, profitable career ahead...

I think its been said in the thread already... but funerals and\or any kind of celebration of someone's life\death are always for the living, not the dead... Which is one of several reasons why my grandfather never had a viking funeral on the Stockbridge Bowl... Though part of my would still...

Any this whole time I thought John Fante was God... Along these same lines, wasn't it Bill Hicks that pointed out that the bible says nothing about dinosaurs, which you know...is actually provable...Or was it Doug Stanhope. I forget. Religion exists because people are afraid to die. If...

Speaking of incorrect subtitles... Black Swallow Press

...was visiting my home town for 4 days only. The concept had been planned out well in advance though. Yet to come is a great portrait of John Fante on my inner bicep facing Bukowski. I'm sure they would be happy that way :) Anyway, now that I'm a member I'll keep people posted on the...

...translation. i really like red pines version of his shit. my favorite mountain poet from china is TAO CHIEN. david hinton does a really great translation of his shit. reading tao chien is like reading john fante. he has that weird grumpy life force. he also was a bigger drinker like li po.

It finally arrived from the Netherlands today. This is a very enjoyable 63 minute documentary on the life and writing of John Fante written and directed by Dutch filmmaker Jan Louter and released in 2001. Interspersed with readings from Ask the Dust and some of Fante's letters to his...

I was thinking about Fante last night, as BBC was reporting from Abruzzi region hit by an earthquake. "We have here the pleasure to publish Dan Fante's comment to the joint work of Abruzzo2000 and "il Centro", reproduced here courtesy of Paolo Di http://www.john-fante.com/en/: Vincenzo...
