Fante, Dan

1647 Ocean Front Walk

Coventry, England: The Beat Scene Press, 2008. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. Signed by Dan Fante. This signed, numbered (#43/125), limited edition chapbook from Kevin Ring's Beat Scene Press presents a short story from Dan Fante. Oftentimes critics & Charles Bukowski readers have related Dan Fante's work to his; its rugged, rough-around-the-edges, painfully visceral & explicit voice evokes condemnation & intrigue simultaneously. When asked what he learned from Bukowski, Fante replied: "...when a writer writes from his balls and his passion, people hear him and they listen." (Interview by Michael Limnois, Blues GR Online Magazine) "1647 Ocean Front Walk" exemplifies this commitment to life & truth, regardless of its racy nature & the ensuing consequences. Chapbook in very fine condition with only slight rubbing to front, back covers; spot near fine-edge at top-left corner of front cover. Very Fine. [Item #2647]
