  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.
