In this experimental trilogy, Dos Passos uses "camera eye" and "newsreel" sections to create a fragmented atmosphere. Through the testimony of numerous characters, fictional and historical figures, he builds up a composite picture of American society.
John Fante is a lost gem of American literature and the man who was credited by Charles Bukowski as the inspiration for him to start writing. In a life that spanned 74 years, Fante wrote several great novels, such as Ask the Dust.
The Brotherhood of the Grape is vintage Fante, brimming with love, death, violence and religion.Writing with great passion, Fante powerfully describes the damage that family can wreak upon us all.
Possessing a style of deceptive simplicity, emotional immediacy and tremendous psychological point, among the novels, short stories and screenplays that complete his career, Fante's crowning accomplishment is the Arturo Bandini tetralogy.
