Reading this book is like drinking wine.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wine Of Youth (Paperback)
The first story goes slow but as you get used to it, you ask for more. Wonderful name for a wonderful book.

The Short Story died when John Fante stopped writing.,
By Bill Fedigan: wfedigan@hotmail.com (Metro NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wine Of Youth (Paperback)
The Bell didn't Jar for Fante. He wrote like a man on fire, a fire of his own creation, a fire that lit up the sky and said 'Here I am! Take me or cover your eyes!' His stories are nearly flawless, all are great, and some are beyond great: they are burned into us and they are art. 'A Wife for Dino Rossi' is Everyman's Long Day's Journey. 'Home Sweet Home' and 'Hail Mary' drive the reader forward like a speeding locomotive - on Fire. Thank you, Black Sparrow Press for allowing us to warm our hearts and our minds. Thank you, Mr. Fante for never cooling; your sparks have lit a thousand flames.

An excellent read. Very humorus and entertaining.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wine Of Youth (Paperback)
The first time I've ever read Fante. I will be reading all his works from now on. He is reader freindly and makes you feel as if you're standing there with him as he tells his stories. If you're Catholic or been raised in that environment, you will cry laughing at some of his stories in this book. A fantastic writer that deserves more credit.
