Chump Change

When he finds out his father is in a coma aspiring writer and part-time drunk Bruno Dante fresh from the nuthouse must head to Los Angeles for a fraught family reunion in Dan Fante's <em>Chump Change</em>. Now back in print to coincide with the publication of his new novel <em>86'd Chump Change</em> follows Bruno through the tension and stress of facing his family--and the inevitable pain-dulling drinking that lands him naked in a stolen car with an underage hooker whose pimp has stolen his wallet. <em>Chump Change</em> is an honest misfit's view of America far too few know. (John Fowles author of <em>The French Lieutenant's Woman</em>).
