This quartet of novels tell of Fante's fictional alter-ego Bandini, an impoverished young Italian-American escaping his suffocating home in Colorado for Depression-era Los Angeles. Though his physical escape is complete, the psychological damage remains. / El cuarteto de novelas protagonizadas por Arturo Bandini –álter ego de John Fante– es una de las cumbres de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX empeñada en retratar la vida de un modo veraz y visceral. En él narra las andanzas de un antihéroe decidido a convertirse en escritor. Lo conocemos durante su adolescencia en el Colorado de la Gran Depresión, hijo de una familia de emigrantes italianos; lo reencontramos en Los Angeles, con dieciocho años, haciendo trabajos mal pagados, descubriendo las revistas de mujeres desnudas y los libros que saca de la biblioteca municipal y que le acompañan en su sueño de ser escritor. Un sueño por el que lucha entre penurias económicas, mientras trabaja como guionista en Hollywood y vive experiencias sexuales y amoríos: con una prostituta, con una camarera mexicana, con su casera, que podría ser su madre...
