...publishers figured that out. Other than Buk, what writers have sold well for Black Sparrow Press? Diane Wakoski is one. And of course John Fante, who Martin only reprinted because Buk urged him to. The hundreds (or whatever the number is) of other writers published by BSP have not sold as...

Ask the Dust, by John Fante is a great book. The Neon Bible was written by J.K. Toole, who wrote A confederacy of dunces, and it's a very good novel, in spite of being written at the age of 15. I'd recommend you to read a Spanish book, but I don't know if it has ever been translated into...

John Fante and try his son, Dan Fante

As in John Fante? But point taken.

1. Ask the Dust by John Fante 2. Sandman by Neil Gaiman (if I can't take a SERIES of books, I'd just go with American Gods, also by Gaiman) 3. Pleasures of the Damned by Bukowski 4. Lamb by Christopher Moore 5. The Instructions by Adam Levin

yeah, there is a massive posted of John Fante's West of Rome in Don Cheadle's apartment. Then about 30 seconds later, he walks to his bookcase, and there are clearly some Buk books on his shelf. Clearly someone involved in this movie liked Buk and Fante and planted these things in the film...

Nothing new here, just nice to see him getting recognition in the local paper this morning. http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_17584642. Also an article from a couple of years ago from local poet and Beat Book Shop owner Tom Peters...

...form with no spirit. Buk certainly wrote like Buk when writing poems. The argument can be made that he copies the styles of people like John Fante when writing novels, but with his poetry he was blazing a trail that others would follow. What sticks about these really short poems of Buk's...

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt5j49s1f6 Finally, UCLA has a full listing of John Fante's papers up. Make room on your couch, I'll be down to make photocopies any day now... Many things of note, but very interestingly, a copy of Bukowski's screenplay for "The Rats of Thirst"...

i discovered fante through bukowski. there is an excellent introduiction by bukowski in this edition. bukowski says he was hanging around the library studing math, history geology etc. he couldnt really get into anything and was searching for that one writer who spoke from the heart. and he was...

my picks would be: 1) J.D.SALINGER 2) CHARLES BUKOWSKI 3) ERNEST HEMINGWAY 4) JOHN STEINBECK 5) NORMAN MAILER 6) KEN KESEY 7) GORE VIDAL 8) JOHN FANTE (reading him now) 9) HUNTER.S.THOMPSON 10) JOHN UPDIKE make your own top 10 list. i havent read much of styron, faulkner etc.

Indeed they do.

Hey -- a little respect! That's John Fante's Laughing Dog. Can't you tell from the bow tie? Welcome, Katie. I write and work, too. Both for far too many years. It's difficult to quit either one. Old habits die hard.

This time, it's Fante's turn The January issue of the Undie Press just posted, which includes my column on collecting books. This month, it's select items form my Fante shelf.

Martin sold BSP many years after Pulp was (unfortunately) published, and the ghost of BSP that made a stab at staying alive after Maritn's sale did not include Bukowski. Bukowski, Fante and someone else went to HarperCollins. The "new" BSP featured only the dregs that were left. It is incorrect...

...and interesting correspondence in 2011. My email is [not for public disclosure - ed.]. I hope that I will hear from someone soon. As John Fante would sometimes end his letters, I wish all of you on this forum the very best of everything. Stay healthy and happy and have a good time - don't...

1968 oc. The problem with a story like oc 68 09 06 is that, to scan it, I had to break it into 5 parts. It's readable. Interesting to note that Buk mentions that people should read John Fante there. Sept. 1968. First time? It was collected in Notes. [Removed dead link. -ed.]

After reading A.Fogel ' The Switch' and then John Fante and the Hollywood Ten back to back (Thanks to Bosp) these post about manuscripts stick hard. Im a friggin landscaper by trade that has tapped into a bunch of artist of modern day mayhem. SUPPORT THE SMALL PRESS .....reasonknot

...and there is a part where Don Cheadle's character (who is a fan of the writer) grabs his books and they are stacked on top of a bunch of John Fante Books (Black Sparrow editions too), and, this may sound miniscule, there is a giant poster of the cover of West of Rome by John Fante. I just...

Hi, Here is another little book from BoSP. This is a short essay about John Fante by Dan Fante. Book measures roughly 4.25" x 5.5" 16pp. Text is printed digitally, the cover is printed letterpress in silver on black Canson Mi-Teintes. Limited to an edition of 76 copies, 50 paper and 26...

nervas, Road to LA was first written, but I wouldn't consider them an series in the traditional sense. Road to LA was published last as it was discovered by Joyce Fante after her husband's death (sidenote: Bukowski wrote a letter complaining about John Martin publishing too much Fante that...
