Description
Fante Bukowski
Author: Noah Van Sciver
Soft cover, good condition. Graphic novella.
Fante Bukowski by Noah Van Sciver is a satirical graphic novella that follows the misadventures of Kelly Perkins, a delusional aspiring writer who adopts the pen name "Fante Bukowski" in homage to literary figures John Fante and Charles Bukowski. Believing himself to be a misunderstood genius, Fante shuns his privileged background and legal career to pursue literary fame, despite lacking talent and discipline. Living in a rundown motel and frequenting dive bars, he pens derivative poetry and seeks validation from a literary world that largely ignores him. Van Sciver's portrayal of Fante serves as a humorous critique of artistic pretension and entitlement, offering readers both laughter and a poignant reflection on the struggles of creative ambition. The character's journey is further explored in subsequent volumes, culminating in The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski, which compiles all three books along with additional content.
