...libraries. All together this network has 15 volumes of Bukowski poems and novels (mostly from Black Sparrow) and 8 volumes of works by John Fante available for dispersal. That's 23 volumes right there. I was amazed when I found this out... Unless one is living completely in the dark, there...

haven't heard of that collection. i cldn't get into THE WINE OF YOUTH (poptop said it above.) or the novella DREAMS FROM BUNKER HILL (He was ill and it was dictated, right?) but FULL OF LIFE and MY DOG STUPID from WEST OF ROME (i forget the other novella/story incorporated) are life-affirming...

i'm about to begin John Fante's collection of stories, "The Big Hunger", tonight. but last night i read Dan Fante's "Spitting from Tall Buildings". he seems alot more bitter and fucked up than Buk, there's alot more suicidal tendencies but the light shines through at the end when he ends up...

I finished Sounes' Buk bio. I'm also re-reading Palahniuk's Survivor I highly recommend it. Also, I'm working my way through The John Fante reader... untill my copy of Dreams From Bunker Hill gets here. and also, Bukowski is always in rotation. I'm getting through Open All Night too. I...

I'm wondering if there is anyone on this forum who is a big John Fante fan. I just visited my parents house and thought I would collect a bunch of books I left there - 10 years ago! I got home and realised that out of the ten Fante books, all but one are first editions (soft covers). All are...

HankD looks like a first edition....here's a few on abebooks. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?bx=off&sts=t&ds=30&bi=h&an=john+fante&y=17&kn=viking+press&fe=on&tn=dago+red&x=65&sortby=2 @ copies without dj's....acking price of $150 and$250. The condition doesn't seem as good as...

nice cover - the illustration reminded me a little of those woodcuts in apollinaire's collection alcools. beats my 80's paperback covers, needless to say!

Hmmmm...I wonder if my John Fante "Dago Red" from 1940 is a first edition....and if the book, even if it has no jacket at all, will make it possible for me to retire...? I don't think so but if I post some pix here maybe someone can tell if it's a first edition. I can't find any info on how and...

I sent an e-mail to John Martin and asked his opinion as to whether or not this listing is legitimate. His response speaks for itself: Hi Mark: The copy of "Bandini" on eBay is completely bogus. First of all, that book is not signed by Fante on the colophon page. It's signed by Fante on an...

...until I clicked on it and saw what appears to be a forgery. Doesn't the signed edition have a cream spine? Didn't he always sign the full "john fante" for black sparrow instead of "j fante"? And the signature looks much neater than signatures I've seen of his in the past. Thanks for any help...

Organically Grown "Takeover of style"? Not exactly, but definitely that Bukowski was interested in Fante's flowing line with both its emotion and vitality. Fante was writing like a man in the act of great enjoyment as he tap tap tapped it out on the typer, and that gave it an immediacy and...

...bullets" or something. Which works, at least for me. But then I also remember reading in Sounes'that he took this idea of style from John Fante for "keeping the reader awake while trying to get to what he'd wanted to say". Sounes also writes that B. even first felt uneasy meeting Fante in...

Hello Good luck, Rich. Welcome. Cummings and Fante are two of my favorites too. Success with your writing.... Sincerely, Poptop

...from my ex girlfriends then boyfriend and yes, i regretfully was seeing her at the time. Bukowski has been a huge influence on my writing, and led me to discovery other interesting writers such as EE Cummings and John Fante. As an influence Bukowski fuelled my fire and got me off my ass.

...Dan Fante is a great writer. I like his novels better than his poems, but they are both very good. His novels are not like Bukowski or John Fante. They are only like Dan Fante. I was very happy to have published a poem and a short story of his. There have been rumors for a while now...

Fante's Inferno It seems that the problem with some writers is that they find it nigh on impossible to compliment the genius of other writers: they don't want to be compared, and I don't blame them. This is true of Dan Fante, true of James Ellroy, and it was true of Bukowski himself. And it...

...to his father (or Bukowski), but taken on his own, I like his style. I don't know how the sons and daughters of people like John Lennon, John Fante or Bob Marley go into the same field. I suppose it must be genetic, because any sensible person would run in the opposite direction just to...

Here is a short clip where Dan Fante (son of John Fante), comments on BUK: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8304726534224990230&q=fante&hl=en

...short-comings in various stories and poems"”such writers as Saroyan, Faulkner and Tolstoy. On the other hand, Dostoevsky, Thurber and John Fante he appeared to have nothing but praise for. (But I never felt that he was competitive with Dos.) My sense of it is that, ultimately, Bukowski felt...

That's a nice copy of ASK THE DUST... currently sitting at $399, I assume from your description you hoped for around 600... Curious to see what LAST minute bidders step in...

...understand it, the Hamsun-scholars agree that there is no trace of anti-Semitism or Nazism in Hamsun?s literary work. Both Bukowski and John Fante considered Hamsun to be the best writer ever. I can?t remember if it was in an interview or in one of his books, where Dan Fante (son of John...

I hit on bukowski in my late twenties, came at him from a different direction. In 1988 I read a book by John Fante called ASK THE DUST, published by Black Sparrow Press(I highly recommend this book). The foreward was written by Charles Bukowski. I proceeded to pick up WOMEN and FACTOTUM. HAM...

...I would say: Out of all the various books I skimmed or redd by authors mentioned by Bukowski, none of them came closer to Buk's style than John Fante. Next in line, but not too close, would be Hemingway. After him, maybe Catullus. Just my two cents. Not better or worse than anyone else's...

I'll tell you where he got his style: John Fante/Ernest Hemingway/Charles Bukowski. Contrary to what has been written here, he did edit his work. Sometimes savagely. No big words, no long sentences. He had his own personal feel for how a line should be laid down. Gut instinct. I don't...
