I posted this link elsewhere in the forum, but I found an interesting passage here that would also fit here...
Pleasants\Fante Interviews
I thought this was interesting:
Anyhow... there's more there about Fante, Bukowski, and tons of other things... A great read overall, but a really harsh introduction...

I thought this was interesting:
BP: But the fact that you're not reading about him, is that there are a group of people - one I would say are the feminists, who despise him because of his attitude, some of the things he writes about women. But he also takes it on the chin from the New York critics. They choose not to write about him.
JF: Why? Because he's German.
BP: I don't know. Basically that's it, yeah.
JF: And he has a history of being pro-Nazi, however untrue that is.
BP: It was a very minor thing, but they manage to tar him with that brush and he's had a hard time throwing it off.
