SYNOPSIS
Ask the Dust is a virtuoso performance by an influential master of the twentieth-century American novel.
It is the story of Arturo Bandini, a young writer in 1930s Los Angeles who falls hard for the elusive, mocking, unstable Camilla Lopez, a Mexican waitress. Struggling to survive, he perseveres until, at last, his first novel is published.
But the bright light of success is extinguished when Camilla has a nervous breakdown and disappears . . . and Bandini forever rejects the writers life he fought so hard to attain.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Fante
John Fante nasceu em 1909, em Denver, Estado do Colorado. Começou a escrever em 1929 e viu o seu primeiro conto publicado em 1932. Em 1938, publicou A Primavera há-de chegar, Bandini, o primeiro romance da saga de Arturo Bandini, que inclui ainda Estrada para Los Angeles, Pergunta ao pó e Sonhos de Bunker Hill. Atingido pela diabetes em 1955, a doença levou-o à cegueira em 1978 e à amputação de ambas as pernas dois anos mais tarde. Não obstante, o sempre prolífico escritor continuou a escrever, ditando os seus textos à mulher. Sonhos de Bunker Hill, o último volume da saga de Arturo Bandini, foi terminado desta forma, em 1982. Morreu em 1983, aos 74 anos. Apesar de não ter conquistado reconhecimento em vida, é hoje visto como um dos grandes autores da sua geração, notabilizado por ter sido mentor de Charles Bukowski.
