Hi everyone,
I am looking for a quote that is super important for what I'm writing -sometimes, after reading thousands of pages, you just lose track...
In that quote, Bukowski says that John Fante was a West Coast Fitzgerald, but that he was almost forgotten precisely because he was from Los Angeles and not from New York.
This is super important because, in my research, I found that many critics talk about how West Coast literature tends to be erased from the American literary canon- especially if it's Los Angeles, unless you are a Noir writer. That quote I am looking for shows that Bukowski was aware of such a thing.
