Review
"Bandini is a magnificent creation, and his rediscovery is not before time." (Times Literary Supplement)
"John Fante takes some beating . . . mean, moody, disturbing and intensely atmospheric." (The Times)
"John Fante knew how to make words sing. When he was on form, he could write sentences that stopped time." (Uncut)
About the Author
John Fante began writing in 1929 and published his first short story in 1932. His first novel, Wait Until Spring, Bandini, was published in 1938 and was the first of his Arturo Bandini series of novels, which also include The Road to Los Angeles and Ask the Dust. A prolific screenwriter, he was stricken with diabetes in 1955. Complications from the disease brought about his blindness in 1978 and, within two years, the amputation of both legs. He continued to write by dictation to his wife, Joyce, and published Dreams from Bunker Hill, the final installment of the Arturo Bandini series, in 1982. He died on May 8, 1983, at the age of seventy-four.
