DescriptionArturo Bandini is a struggling writer lodging in a seedy LA hotel. While basking in the glory of having had a story published in a small magazine, he meets waitress Camilla Lopez, and they embark on a strange and strained love-hate relationship. Slowly, but inexorably, it descends into madness. Author descriptionJOHN FANTE was born in 1909 to poor Italian-American parents in Colorado. Following a hard and religious upbringing, he ventured west in the 1930s to become a writer. After publishing four superb but commercially disappointing novels, he became a successful screen writer, but never forgave himself for leaving his true calling. He died in 1980. |
