«Mon chien stupide» is John Fante's humorous novel, published in French by Editions 10/18 in paperback.
Henry J. Molise, a disillusioned writer in his fifties, lives in Point Dume (California) with his wife and four children. When a huge, disobedient, obsessive dog shows up at his house, family life spirals out of control. The novel combines absurd humor with a bitter, provocative look at family and middle age.
It is the French translation of «My Dog Stupid», with Henry Molise as Fante's new literary alter ego. It belongs to the «Domaine étranger» collection from 10/18, translated by Brice Matthieussent.
For John Fante fans and those who enjoy acid humor about family relationships.
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.
