John Fante Reader

<p>It's not every day that a writer almost unheard of in his lifetime emerges twenty years after his death as a voice of his generation. But then again there aren't many writers with such irrepressible genius as John Fante.</p><p><em>The John Fante Reader</em> is the important next step in the reintroduction of this influential author to modern audiences. Combining excerpts from his novels and stories as well as his never-before-published letters this collection is the perfect primer on the work of a writer -- underappreciated in his time -- who is finally taking his place in the pantheon of twentieth-century American writers.</p>
