This volume assembles for the first time a staggering multiplicity
of reflections and readings of John Fante's 1939 classic, Ask the
Dust, a true testament to the work's present and future impact. The
contributors to this work-writers, critics, fans, scholars,
screenwriters, directors, and others-analyze the provocative set of
diaspora tensions informing Fante's masterpiece that distinguish it
from those accounts of earlier East Coast migrations and minglings.
A must-read for aficionados of L.A. fiction and new migration
literature, John Fante's "Ask the Dust": A Joining of Voices and
Views is destined for landmark status as the first volume of Fante
studies to reveal the novel's evolving intertextualities and
intersectionalities. Contributors: Miriam Amico, Charles Bukowski,
Stephen Cooper, Giovanna DiLello, John Fante, Valerio Ferme, Teresa
Fiore, Daniel Gardner, Philippe Garnier, Robert Guffey, Ryan
Holiday, Jan Louter, Chiara Mazzucchelli, Meagan Meylor, J'aime
Morrison, Nathan Rabin, Alan Rifkin, Suzanne Manizza Roszak, Danny
Shain, Robert Towne, Joel Williams
