Chump Change Zusammenfassung

Chump Change Dan Fante

Chump Change is a largely autobiographical novel and as such is a moving homage to the author's father John Fante, the acclaimed LA novelist who so heavily influenced and inspired Charles Bukowski. Chump Change tracks three crazy weeks in the turbulent, alcohol-bingeing life of Bruno Dante as he awaits the death of his father, Jonathan Dante, a talented fiction writer who in later life sells his soul for Hollywood gold. The result is a harrowing descent through a Hollywood hell that roars with anger at the falseness of American values and is both deadpan hilarious and deeply moving.

Chump Change Bewertungen

a brutally honest, sometimes poisonous raging against the system, God, Los Angeles, life in general and the alcoholic's plight in particular. It was also funny, satirical and touching, yet without sentimentality. * * Scotland on Sunday * *
Uncommonly well written and has an almost fatal fascination. * * The Herald * *
careering from from mishap to disaster in a series of darkly comedic vignettes involving a flea-bitten bull terrier named Roco, a runaway teenage prostiute whose chronic stutter can only be cured by booze, and an interlude working for a telephone dating agency in which Bruno sabotages his career prospects by seducing his first client. Chump Change is a book which drags the reader through every sweat, tremor and degenerate convulsion of the alcoholic's existence. * * Daily Telegraph * *
