Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £2.85
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Un auteur qui vous étonnera sans doute autant que moi. Voyez plutôt: une petite enfance pauvre dans le Nevada, une expérience dans le milieu cinématographique hollywoodien, une oeuvre littéraire obsessionnellement centrée autour d'un seul et même personnage, Arturo Bandini, né dans le Nevada de parents italiens et parti tenter sa chance à. Hollywood! John Fante a écrit son premier roman en 1939, son dernier en 1982. Entre ces deux dates, de nombreux écrits bien sûr, et une vie toute entière tiraillée entre l'écriture, la nostalgie, la hargne et l'envie d'échapper à sa condition, de s'envoler vers la gloire. Un sacré bonhomme sans doute que ce Fante-Bandini. Un sacré écrivain aussi-
