5.0�toiles sur 5 a great book by a highly underated author, Avril 15 2004

This review is from: The Brotherhood Of The Grape (Paperback)

Fantes characters are rarely heroic. They are flawed and often slightly ridiculous, but he writes in such a way that one cant help warming to them no matter what. In fantes world man is confused and irrational, struggling with catholic guilt and trying to make sense of an absurd world. Life is a tragic comedy in which the last laugh is very definitely on you. Although at times hilarious, at its core there is a lot of sadness, but what comes across most strongly is a warmth and compassion for his characters despite and maybee even because of their faults. His style overflows with energy and passion. There is a tremedous appetite for life. The book catches you up in its plot from page one and sweeps you along. This is an extremely enjoyable book, a strange and beautifully told story, profoundly moving and funny.

This review is from: The Brotherhood Of The Grape (Paperback)

This is a beautiful book. Like some other readers, I got turned on to John Fante through mentions in Bukowski. Fante is from a different world, a different era, a different culture. He's tough, tender, fragile, romantic, and he writes some beautiful stories. There are some duds - naive and pathetic - but he knew that and didn't try to hide the fact that those facets were parts of him too. Brotherhood of the grape is a beauty. Artwork, at least the copy I have, is by Black Sparrow Press, and sends shivers down my spine every time I get it off the bookshelf. Just hold it and admire. You can read in in an afternoon, and it contains some astonishingly simple and beautiful lines. But beautiful. Why do it all fancy when you can just tell it how it is? Father and son, and all that this entails. This book is love, and it makes me tingle and brings tears of joy every time I so much as touch it. I first read it about 7 years ago and its effect has not diminished yet. I find it impossible that anyone could regret buying this book. It is, quite simply, beautiful.
