86'd (Harper Perennial)
We're pleased to welcome back Dan Fante, whose new novel is the fourth
in his series of semiautobiographical Bruno Dante novels. This time,
Bruno, encountering setbacks as a writer, loses a telemarketing job and
gains a job at a limo service, which he is instructed he can only keep
if he stays sober. But business success fuels a booze-fueled downward
spiral, and he struggles to keep his demons from getting the best of
him.
The son of novelist John Fante (Ask the Dust), Dan Fante is the author of the
novels Chump Change, Mooch, and Spitting Off Tall Buildings; the short
story collection Short Dog; two books of poetry; and the plays The Boiler Room
and Don Giovanni. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he lives in Arizona with his
wife and son.
