I am Arturro Bandini!

I didn't really like his books, but I can see his value as a writer.

I like Fante a lot. Arturo Bandini is badass.

I enjoyed Ask The Dust until about 30 pages from the end. His description of both marijuana use and mental illness was full retard.
Other than that, it was a really good read. I liked his sense of humor, how he'd switch suddenly from despairing to grandiose and make it absurd.

FUCKING YES I LOVE FANTE!!!! I have his photo on my fucking wall. Read almost everything he's done. I love you OP for making this thread.
