This guy had hundreds of Fante Black Sparrow paperbacks: https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=235 The auctions are all long closed, but with that many copies he's worth watching for new auctions or contacting directly.

David, did you see this? I was in the queue to bid but it went higher than I wanted to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ask-the-Dust-Signed-by-John-Fante-Only-250-copies_W0QQitemZ200021674590QQihZ010QQcategoryZ29223QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

...later printings, so that's no great achievement. Maybe someday I'll get class and go for the hardcovers. Like a fool, I sold all my John Fante Black Sparrow Press editions, and they're getting hard to find used. Fante has really gotten huge, deservedly so. I just reread ASK THE DUST and...

...you will blow me out of the water. Buk wrote the foreword to surprisingly few writers. Among those were books by Steve Richmond, John Fante, and John Corrington. He also wrote one for a young small press poet who has since left the scene. Who is it? I think that makes the only...

Black sparrow did use cut autographs for a Gertrude Stein book once. Also, the tipped in manuscripts into some limited editions of Charles Reznikoff. I'm not sure about Fante. I do know that Joyce has signed som eof the limiteds from after John died... Bill;

Didn't Black Sparrow use some of John Fante's canceled checks to put together a "signed" edition? Or am I confused?

No. I never said anything about a books sales being the only qualification for great literature. I do, however, claim that huge sales implies great literature. But Fante's work can surely be great without many readers. A tree that falls in the forest DOES make a sound even if nobody is around to...

...if nobody have noticed it. Most great writers that I love to read weren't even published in their lifetimes. Would you suggest that John Fante's books weren't (great) literature because he did not reach popular mainstream during his life (or after)? ps. It is all in the interest of...

...Than the Locust (false start) Less Delicate Than the Locust excerpt from Ham On Rye (1982) - we ain?t got no money, honey, but we got rain Plus Bukowski talks about his experiences in France, computers vs. the typewriter, his novel Pulp, Ezra Pound, John Fante, and other assorted things.

...mind for books - One to actually read and care about, and another to fall asleep to. No shame in that. Books - "Ask The Dust" - John Fante "Big Rock Candy Mountain" - Wallace Stegner(the sleeper) CD - last one I paid money for is Darlyne Cain.

This seller has new Black Sparrow editions of all of the John Fante books for prices between $8.12 and $9.28. 50 of each title are available (which is why I'm breaking my own rule against posting eBay auctions ;)), and they're all "buy it now" prices. Seems like a great opportunity if you ever...

According to the critics, its not so great.

I was doing some Googling of John Fante (to determine if this 1936 Mercury magazine piece we have is his first published work) when I came across this movie: Wait Until Spring Bandini Anyone seen it? I hadn't heard of it before. And look who co-stars: Faye Dunaway. Heh. I ordered a copy from...

...South of No North, Ham on Rye, Women etc. etc. Somewhere in there I also started on the poetry and I've never looked back. I even got into John Fante via a reference in one of Bukowski's books (although I can't remember which one at the moment). I can honestly say that I've read Ham on Rye...

I read West of Rome by John Fante and thought it was hysterical ( and very well written ).

John Fante. Ask the Dust is probably his best book, but he was a great storyteller who's simple, plain language style had a great influence on Bukowski when he found his books in the library. Fante also used the city of Los Angeles predominantly in many of his stories, and I think this had an...
