Synopsis
My first collision with fame was hardly memorable. I was a busboy at Marx's Deli. The year was 1934. The place was Third and Hill, Los Angeles. I was twenty-one years old, living in a world bounded on the west by Bunker Hill, on the east by Los Angeles Street, on the south by Pershing Square, and on the north by Civic Center. I was a busboy nonpareil, with great verve and style for the profession, and though I was dreadfully underpaid (one dollar a day plus meals) I attracted considerable attention as I whirled from table to table, balancing a tray on one hand, and eliciting smiles from my customers. I had something else beside a waiter's skill to offer my patrons, for I was also a writer.

  • LA 1930s

    John's character Arturo Bandini just wants be be a writer in LA in the 1930s. He eeks out a living by the sale of short stories, but he just can't seen to make the big score. He hits the hay with the old landlady who owns the flop house when he lives until he is offered a job as a screenwriter at six hundred a week. He moves in to his new office and waits for an assignment while eyeballing his gorgeous secretary who won't give him the time of day---until. He complains to his boss about the lack of work. The boss replies "you're doing fine--keep it up the good work"--but he isn't doing any work just bumming around LA. The "great Bandini" as he sees himself, is John Fante and it is the comic, very funny story of his trials and tribulations in LA/Hollywood trying to make it as a writer. This ...

  • The title sums it up.

    Another fine story by John Fante. Not as good as Ask the Dust, but what is? I don't think it's wotrh the price most venues are asking but it was on this one, and am satisfied I received my monies worth.
