Synopsis
Ask the Dust is the most popular novel of Italian-American author John Fante, that published in 1939 and set during Great Depression era in Los Angeles. It is one of a series of novels based around the character Arturo Bandini serving as his alter ego, a young Italian-American from Colorado struggling to make it as a writer in Los Angeles. The book is a roman à clef, much of it rooted in autobiographical incidents in Fante's life. The novel influenced Charles Bukowski significantly.
