I'm a Fante fan, and enojoy introducing him to Bukowski or
Hunter S Thompson (or even Harry Crews) fans. Definitely a
big influence on Bukowski, who did a great forward to Ask the
Dust in which he talks about hanging out in the LA library
looking for something to read, and happening upon
Fante.
For those just looking for a taste - and a
cheap one - the recent John Fante Reader makes a great
introduction.
