Więcej o książce
"Fante was my God." Charles Bukowski. A cult author and his forgotten novel are rediscovered. This is the story of Dominic Molise, set during the Great Depression, depicting both personal and class struggles. It is a moving and humorous novel about youth and its dissolution into adulthood. Seventeen-year-old Dominic Molise is trapped in a small town at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in the 1930s, longing to become a baseball star. He dreams of great victories, recognition, and love. Instead, he grapples with his Italian heritage and the pressure to work in the family business. Stacking bricks is not his aspiration. His father tries to protect him from inevitable failure, urging him to take up a trowel instead of a baseball bat. His mother resorts to prayer, but Dominic continues to dream.
