Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Very little shelf-wear. Black Sparrow Press began posthumously publishing Fante's then out-of-print works in the late 1970s, at the suggestion of house favorite Charles Bukowski ('Fante was my god,' he said), who had happened upon the writer's work in the LA Public Library. West of Rome includes two novellas, The Orgy and My Dog Stupid, which Yvan Attal adapted into a 2019 film, Mon chien Stupide. Signature BSP matte cover and industry-reshaping format; designed by the press's untrained virtuoso Barbara Martin. 188 pp.

Paperback / softback. New. West of Rome's two novellas, "My Dog Stupid" and "The Orgy," fulfill the promise of their rousing titles. The latter novella opens with virtuoso description: "His name was Frank Gagliano, and he did not believe in God. He was that most singular and startling craftsman of the building trade-a left-handed bricklayer. Like my father, Frank came from Torcella Peligna, a cliff-hugging town in the Abruzzi. Lean as a spider, he wore a leather cap and puttees the year around, and he was so bowlegged a dog could lope between his knees without touching them."
