Erindringsværk af Dan Fante, søn af den legendariske forfatter John Fante.Det er ikke en John Fante biografi, men en personlig beskrivelse af hvordan det har været at vokse op som søn af John Fante og have hans passion for både ordet og flasken med sig i bagagen.Dan Fante har levet på bunden af samfundet, han pakker ikke noget ind og er ikke bange for at beskrive sin egen fremfærd som dumt svin.Det er en usentimental, barsk, ligefrem og ærlig fortælling - et hudløst billede af det underpriviligerede USA i tresserne og halvfjerdserne.Dan Fante (1944-2015) var en amerikansk forfatter og dramatiker. Til trods for at Dan Fante er amerikaner, debuterede han i første omgang i Frankrig med romanen "Chump change", der også udgør første del i en trilogi om Dan Fantes alterego Bruno Fante og hans hårdkogte liv i Los Angeles.I det hele taget fylder Los Angeles og den smeltedigel af håb og drømme, mismod og misbrug en del i Dan Fantes forfatterskab.
