Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 351 Pages Indexed. Tight square book. Both covers show very minor wear. Interior text pages are near flawless.Penciled in price inside front cover. Illustrated with 28 pages of black and white photographs on glossy paper. The Fante letters are attuned to the person he is addressing and absorbed in his subject matter. In the earlier years it was usually himself. Preserved for decades by their various recipients-by his loving mother, who must have treasured her young son's confidences, the outpouring of his hopes and dreams; by a young cousin who early on saw in him a genius; by his devoted wife, who endorsed his belief that his real calling was literature, not screenwriting; by one of his supportive publishers; and by his lawyer-journalist-writer friend. There are character sketches, anecdotes, and lyrical outpourings such as his paean to writing paper, written in 1940, but the best examples of this kind are the frequent and lengthy reports sent home to his wife Joyce from his three trips to Europe. Sprinkled, as an additional source of interest, with tidbits of gossip about film personalities, these letters have the qualities of fine reporting and preserve for us both vignettes of Europe in the late fifties and the sensibility of a perceptive Italian-American finally doing what he'd dreamed of almost thirty years earlier, visiting the ancestral homeland. Then there is the biographical interest, with the letters-helped out by occasional interspersed editorial commentary, including invaluable contributions by Joyce Fante-serving to provide the rough outlines of the author's life and career and the flavor of the milieux he moved in, from Depression era Los Angeles to more exotic locales like Rome, Berlin, and Naples. Contents: Introduction, A Note on the Editing, The Letters 1932 - 1981, and Epilogue. Plus Four Appendices - Fante's Diary January 1940, The First Time I Saw Paris by John Fante, John Fante by Ross B. Wills, and Bibliography.…
