...s/h book shop the other day but didn't have the time to read any of it and I was wondering if it is worth going back to buy? (if it's still there). I am a massive John Fante fan (how I got into Bukowski) and I was wondering if Miller's writing style is at all similar to Fante's. Thanks...

these are all fante books from john martin's collection. they are all black sparrow editions, and all of the numbered copies are "#1," which is pretty neat (although some cynical people might say that that's not any more rare than any other number, but still). all are in fine condition except...

...reflect "who he is" in many ways), but they are also the result of very conscious art and craft. His models in terms of prose style were John Fante, William Saroyan, Ernest Hemingway (among American writers). Europeans he loved include Celine, Dostoyevsky, Hamsun. Take a look at the book of...

Just a question... do any of the new title pamphlets have John Fante books? If so (and if they're not taken) I'd be very interested.

As you all know, I've been selling my Bukowski collection. That means, of course, I'm also selling my John Fante books. The hardcovers are long gone. I was going to sell the soft covers as a lot on eBay, but then it occurred to me to check with this group first. I will be putting a few...

everythings pretty much gone except, the day it snowed in LA Erections... John Fante's The Wine Of Youth - Black Sparrow Press hardcover 1stedition

I read John Fante's Ask the Dust because Buk told me to. That book was very good, as promised.

...Crosby of Black Sun Press wrote me from Italy. Henry Miller's son wrote that I was a better writer than his father. I drank wine with John Fante. but none of this matters at all except in a romantic sort of way. some day they'll be talking about me: "Chinaski wrote me a letter." "I saw...

...avant-garde work profitably, Martin closed the literary house in May 2002. He sold the backlist of Charles Bukowski, Paul Bowles, and John Fante to Ecco; the Wyndham Lewis line to Ginkgo Press of Corte Madera, California, and the rest of the list went to David Godine in Boston...

I found the pieces about other writers, the reviews and "tributes" to be the least interesting bits, but that's just me. Dry stuff, which you don't expect. "Bukowski's growing library" - that's funny. As if this juuust puts him over the top of having a large body of published work. It will be...

You might, kof, try here? https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=3980 Of course we have Dan Fante, and John Fante. You're well aware of that, sure.

anyways, I have one of these up for grabs. I'll post pictures in the very near future. Any idea of what a hardcover 1st ed of this in fair condition would go for? I'm really just looking for a little extra scratch for a few debts. Theres one of these listed on abe at $200. Mine isnt in mint...

After my little remodel, I find myself short of both money and shelf-space, so I'm selling off my small BSP John Fante collection. Anyone interested in any of these should post here so others know which titles are taken (we can handle the details through PMs). I'm offering them here first at...

...think about people like James Joyce, Hemingway, Ambrose Bierce, Faulkner, Sherwood Anderson, Frost, Jeffers, D.H. Lawrence, A. Huxley, John Fante, Gorki, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Saroyan, Villon, even Sinclair Lewis and Hamsun, even T.S. Eliot and Pound, and William Carlos Williams and...

Dan Fante son of John Fante Dan Fante has had several books. And although he's not like Bukowski, his writing would be more like if John Fante was raised in NYC in 60's instead LA. Fast ad 'furious.' I had fun reading it.

...is by no means complete or even comprehensive. I just grew tired of typing names. It could easily have been at least three times as long. John Fante had his work suppressed and he was blacklisted in Hollywood and in book publishing circles during the Sen. Joe McCarthy and his "Red Scare" era...

Nothing new expect the last line.

...Edward Sanders (Anyone remember the rock group the FUGS from the '60s?) ...and as a hint, let's throw two other writers into the group John Fante Charles Bukowski Game, set and match to John Martin and his Black Sparrow Press! The above list is but a portion of the writers John published...

As some readers already know, but it has not been mentioned so far in this thread, Martin's Black Sparrow Press reclaimed John Fante's legacy from literary obscurity, and his marvelous novels have sold to the tune of thousands upon thousands of dollars and greatly benefited his widow, Joyce...
