EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Ten months after the death of his famous father, Dan Fante's antihero, Bruno Dante is back. He has cleaned himself up, straightened out, is attending AA and back on the mooch, selling computer-printer supplies for a militaristic disciplinarian and straight guy in a company staffed by a motley crew of ex-addicts. Then he meets Mexican femme fatale, Jimmi Valiente, a mesmerizingly beautiful new employee at Orbit Computer Supplies. Valiente is a former gangbanger, lap-dancer, crackhead, and once again Dante's world begins to go into free fall. The second novel in the Bruno Dante trilogy is a brutal satire of contemporary America by a writer of immense power and beauty "The Fantes, father and son, have been a major new discovery for me in these last few years." -- John Fowles "Dark and bleak, dirty and real ... Dan Fante's style is raw, insightful, and deftly realized." -- Time Out (New York)
