Dieciocho relatos rescatados de un maestro indiscutible de la novela corta y el cuento. En 1994, Stephen Cooper, biógrafo de John Fante, descubrió manuscritos inéditos que revelan la maestría del autor en la creación de personajes entrañables como Arturo Bandini. Estos textos, rescatados de revistas antiguas, muestran la mordacidad y el sarcasmo de Fante, heredero de satíricos como O. Henry y Mark Twain. Con su estilo único, Fante pinta ambientes desgarradores y ridículos con una economía de medios sorprendente.
John Fante was an American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter. He is best known for his semi-autobiographical novel Ask the Dust (1939) about the life of Arturo Bandini, a struggling writer in Depression-era Los Angeles. It is widely considered the great Los Angeles novel, and is one in a series of four, published between 1938 and 1985, that are now collectively called "The Bandini Quartet." Ask the Dust was adapted into a 2006 film starring Colin Farrell and Salma Hayek. Fante's published works while he lived included five novels, one novella, and a short story collection. Additional works, including two novels, two novellas, and two short story collections, were published posthumously. His screenwriting credits include, most notably, Full of Life, Jeanne Eagels (1957), and the 1962 films Walk on the Wild Side and The Reluctant Saint.
