摘要
The analyzed novels are linked to the character Arturo Bandini, considered an alter ego of the writer John Fante whose context is that of the Great Depression: Wait Until Spring, Bandini (1938), The Road to Los Angeles (chronologically this is the first novel in the saga, but it was published only posthumously in 1985), Ask the Dust (1939) and Dreams from Bunker Hill (1982). Considering the themes and writing style of John Fante in the novels discussed here, we can relate them to the experience of the marginal writer in an unfavorable situation: a not very promising future in a country that is experiencing a recessionary economic scenario. Forged for the writing, Bandini is configured as a kind of author's mirroring, a character in which Fante inserts himself through time and narrative within the scope of autobiographical writing.
