West of Rome - John Fante Mountains kept in mylar for some

kept in mylar for some years

making Buddhist tenants accessible to folks who are not well versed (like me) in the path to enlightenment

and Jon Weiner is no slouch either when it comes to the history of Los Angeles

with artwork from (the fantastic) Nate Beaty

and looking absolutely fabulous dong it

West of Rome - John Fante Mountains kept in mylar for someFANte Favorite! Dang it we love John Fante round these parts. Old Los Angeles in a nut shell. This one consists of two novellas, "My Dog Stupid" and "The Orgy." If you love Fante you'll love these two stories this book, a cult classic indeed. If you don't love him, that's ok too. It's a really close to new book.
