Description: When We Were Bandini by Emanuele Pettener, Zachary Scalzo Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Through a psychological analysis of John Fantes characters and a literary comparison with authors like Cervantes, Hamsun, Bukowski, When We Were Bandini explores the subtle use of humor and satire in Fantes depiction of the American world, and it clears him of the label of autobiographical or even confessional writer. Publisher Description John Fantes work has consistently delved into profound themes, including the elusive American Dream, the delicate psychology of immigrants, and the intricate dynamics of Italian American families. This study reveals the ingenious manner in which Fante employs humor and satire as powerful rhetorical devices to breathe life into his Italian, Italian American, and American characters. Drawing inspiration from literary giants such as Luigi Pirandello and René Girard, the author embarks on a fascinating journey into Fantes rich literary landscape.When We Were Bandini also offers an engaging comparison between Fantes works and those of other authors like Cervantes, Hamsun, Bukowski, and even his own son, Dan Fante. This comparative analysis sheds light on the possible reasons behind Fantes unique status: he is a cult writer in Europe, relatively underappreciated in his home country, the United States.Challenging the conventional notions of Fante as a strictly autobiographical and confessional writer, the author urges readers to look beyond the surface and unravel the layers of his literary genius. Author Biography Emanuele Pettener is associate professor of Italian at Florida Atlantic University.
