Items related to Ask the Dust
Ask the Dust is a virtuoso performance by an influential master of the twentieth-century American novel. It is the story of Arturo Bandini, a young writer in 1930s Los Angeles who falls hard for the elusive, mocking, unstable Camilla Lopez, a Mexican waitress. Struggling to survive, he perseveres until, at last, his first novel is published. But the bright light of success is extinguished when Camilla has a nervous breakdown and disappears . . . and Bandini forever rejects the writer's life he fought so hard to attain.

Product Description:
Title: Ask the Dust <>Binding: Paperback <>Author: JohnFante <>Publisher: HarperCollinsPublishers
Review:
a powerful and moving read - it has a strong nostalgic charm. * * The Guardian * * A tough and beautifully realised tale - affecting, powerful and poignant stuff. Fante was capable of expressing with thought and experience with an honesty that was as intimate as it was evocative, and as magical as it was true. * * Time Out * * Bandini is a magnificent creation, and his discovery is not before time. * * Times Literary Supplement * * This stunning novel, as Charles Bukowski's 1980 foreword outlines, was the reason he became a writer. Is there any better recommendation. * * Uncut * *
