Summary: Big Hunger fills your plate
Review: Thank you Mrs. Fante for saving this piece and countless others of John Fante's work. It is so great to read Bandini after not having anything "new" for years. I have read the book twice in the 45 days I've had it. Bandini lives on! Bukowski said it best, "You should all read John Fante. That was one tough son-of-a-bitch!"

Summary: Fante - The Writer's Writer
Review: Until you've read "Jakie's Mother", a short story in the pages of The Big Hunger, you haven't experienced truth in our artform.The stories of The Big Hunger are many and varied and show a number of different writing styles. This is a great book and one worth keeping.
