This volume assembles for the first time a staggering multiplicity of reflections and readings of John Fanteā€™s 1939 classic, Ask the Dust, a true testament to the workā€™s present and future impact.

The contributors to this workā€”writers, critics, fans, scholars, screenwriters, directors, and othersā€”analyze the provocative set of diaspora tensions informing Fanteā€™s masterpiece that distinguish it from those accounts of earlier East Coast migrations and minglings. A must-read for aficionados of L.A. fiction and new migration literature, John Fanteā€™s ā€œAsk the Dustā€: A Joining of Voices and Views is destined for landmark status as the first volume of Fante studies to reveal the novelā€™s evolving intertextualities and intersectionalities.

Contributors: Miriam Amico, Charles Bukowski, Stephen Cooper, Giovanna DiLello, John Fante, Valerio Ferme, Teresa Fiore, Daniel Gardner, Philippe Garnier, Robert Guffey, Ryan Holiday, Jan Louter, Chiara Mazzucchelli, Meagan Meylor, Jā€™aime Morrison, Nathan Rabin, Alan Rifkin, Suzanne Manizza Roszak, Danny Shain, Robert Towne, Joel Williams
