Summary
John Fante: Wait for Spring, Bandini
Appreciated in the 30s and 40s, forgotten in the 50s and 60s, rediscovered in the 70s and 80s, John Fante is "in" again today: new editions of books, based on which films are made, best speak of his modernity. Things got better for him, unfortunately, only before his death, when Charles Bukowski proudly declared that Fante had a huge influence on his work and said: "Fante was my God."
Here, in addition to the exceptional novel, we draw your attention to the afterword of the author's son, Dan Fante:
As a young writer, my father was bursting with energy. In those years, if you asked him who was the best American writer, he would immediately reply: "Jesus, me, John Fante, and who else?" So what happened to the literary career of John Fante?
How is it that one of the best writers of his generation became anonymous, that he was discovered only after fifty years, months after his death? His prose was brilliant. He could and should have had a literary reputation like Hemingway, Steinbeck or Saroyan, but evil fate conspired and gave him a couple of deuces - not four kings...
And so John Fante's first novel, Wait for Spring, Bandini, appeared before you. This is the beginning of the literary saga of Arturo Bandini. This book speaks for itself about its quality. As my old man would say: "As long as the mouth can read and the eyes can see, until then this will live and give you life."
Enjoy.
