Coming to the end of his life, the once great novelist turned Hollywood hack, Jonathan Dante, is forced to deal with his other legacies: his disintegrating health and profoundly dysfunctional family. Jonathan struggles to make sense of his relationship to his sons as they play out the drama of their broken lives before his fading sight, in a manner that ultimately causes the false choices of all to be revealed. With Don Giovanni Dan Fante has created both a brutal and loving homage to his late father the novelist/screenwriter John Fante, as well as an invaluable work in the development of American drama and devastating critique of the American Dream.

Go to Cart Songs From The Shooting Gallery is an amazing, relentless, and highly dangerous poetic ride thru the drug netherworld of Los Angeles, England, New York, and beyond that somehow manages to break free of this dark subject matter and find light and humor in the most unexpected of places. It is also a caustic social manifesto that takes to task both the U.S. and U.K. for what they've allowed themselves to become at the beginning of this new century. Stark and uncompromising, these poems pull to punches and ask no quarter. They also instantly establish their author as one of the most important writers working today.

Go to Cart (Introduction by Dan Fante)
Wandering half-drunk thru his shattered life in Long Beach, California, an all-but-failed writer searches for no less than redemption thru his relationships with three women and his on-going battle with past, and ultimately pushes himself to the edge of his sanity as he begins to understand both the sorrow and beauty of the decisions he has made. Alternately angry and redemptive, Heaping Stones takes off from where John Fante and Charles Bukowski left off and sets the new standard for the L.A. novel.
