"Ask the Dust" is a virtuoso performance by an influential
master of the twentieth-century American novel. It is the story of
Arturo Bandini, a young writer in 1930s Los Angeles who falls hard
for the elusive, mocking, unstable Camilla Lopez, a Mexican
waitress. Struggling to survive, he perseveres until, at last, his
first novel is published. But the bright light of success is
extinguished when Camilla has a nervous breakdown and disappears .
. . and Bandini forever rejects the writer's life he fought so hard
to attain.
