There seems to be a little bit of comparing apples and
oranges going on here. I became aware of a lot of things when
I was young and following assignments of one sort or another
in L.A. Going to work was like getting a new Beatles lp and
hearing a sitar in action for the first time. I was a sponge.
Bukowski was on the L.A. Free Press when I was, with his
"Dirty Old Man" pages running alongside the sex ads. When I
interviewed W.R. Burnett he gave a strong recommendation of
John Fante's writing. There seemed to be no other author he
was quite so enthusiastic about. I just see it as a
continuum, a passing of the torch from one generation to
another. I never saw Bukowski and Fante in the same place,
however, or had a chance to quiz one about the other.
