Dreams from Bunker Hill
Dreams from Bunker Hill | John Fante
8 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
My first collision with fame was hardly memorable. I was a busboy at Marx's Deli. The year was 1934. The place was Third and Hill, Los Angeles. I was twenty-one years old, living in a world bounded on the west by Bunker Hill, on the east by Los Angeles Street, on the south by Pershing Square, and on the north by Civic Center. I was a busboy nonpareil, with great verve and style for the profession, and though I was dreadfully underpaid (one dollar a day plus meals) I attracted considerable attention as I whirled from table to table, balancing a tray on one hand, and eliciting smiles from my customers. I had something else beside a waiter's skill to offer my patrons, for I was also a writer.

In case you didn't get it from the picture, I really enjoyed this one. Technically the last book in a quartet, but I've only previously read the third one, Ask the Dust. Arturo Bandini is a writer, and if ever someone deserved to be called hapless, it's him. Hapless, but loveable.
