Now back in print to coincide with the publication of his new novel, 86’d, Dan Fante’s Spitting Off Tall Buildings is the story of aspiring writer and part-time drunk Bruno Dante, who leaves sunny Los Angeles for cold, hard New York City. Falling into a string of temporary, dead-end jobs, punctuated by meaningless affairs and intense drinking, Bruno has almost had enough when a sudden event offers him the opportunity to get his life back on track—unless screwing up, like drinking, proves a habit too difficult to shake. In prose steeped with rage and surprising humor, Fante presents a point of view of America that only the true outlaw will recognize.

This is the third in the Bruno Fante series. Somewhat shorter than the others, it is Dan Fante to the core - raw and unfettered. To those unfamiliar, Dan Fante is a sort of latter day Bukowski, but very much worth in his own right. I really enjoyed this novel and have read it twice.
I was excited to read this book since the author is the son of John Fante. Fante is usually brought up in connection with Bukowski since Hank was a fan of his. Much like his father's work, Dan Fante writes about a regular Joe. Like Bukowski, this character goes through a miriad of jobs and thinks himself a sexual dynamo. Unfortunately, this is where it feels like Augusten Burroughs has taken over. The character is bisexual and the descriptions of sexual escapades are a little too clear for my taste. That aside, I could visual the characters and did enjoy the story in general. Good book for the beach or the pool.
This is the first novel I read from Dan Fante, and was fairly quick read. Reminded me a lot about Factotum by Charles Bukowski, only it was much shorter. Bruno has significantly more problems to deal with than Henry Chinaski ever did, but they are hilarious everyday musings of a man who can't stop drinking, who is somewhat of a jerk but you end up routing for him. Currently reading 86'd another Dan Fante classic.
He's the best of the "I'm in the gutter" writers .. and I've been in the gutter ... and I REALLY don't want to go where he goes ... whatever they advance him to write his books ...
Bruno Dante's life is like a noir film without the dame or cool look of black and white. he's broken and f*%^&ked up, the reality of what's left over when you wake up from the american dream. Fante writes a bit like Bukowski, hell, he lived a bit like Bukowski only one of those may be a bad thing.
Entertaining read. Not my favorite of his, but good. Bukowski-esque for sure, but aren't they all. Have a beer with this one.
Excellent novel, his father John and Charles Bukowsky are present, nevertheless Dan Fante has a vioce of his own. Worth every penny.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fante clasic.
Gritty, honest, vulgar, real, and entertaining. More raw than his father. More in keeping with Charles Bukowski. A page Turner

“Evokes brutally and skillfully the violently numb condition of his alter ego.” — The Times (London)
“As we trawl with him through deadbeat and dead-end jobs, this unsettling novel is haunted by the spectre of Charles Bukowski.” — The Times (London)

“It gives an honest misfit’s view of America far too few know.” — John Fowles
“A truly great American novel.” — Scotland on Sunday
“Dan Fante’s novel does an excellent job of delivering this tale of depraved despair with a steady one-two-punch rhythm that hurts like hell while still being impossible to put down.” — Sacramento Book Review
Bruno Dante has fled Los Angeles for New York City. With its cold, hard edge, it's his kind of town. . . . But the string of deadbeat temporary telemarketing gigs is getting to Bruno and the steady work he can stand is hard to come by. Bruno's trying everything: hotel night manager, window cleaner, and cab driver, all the while punctuating his unsatisfying employment experiments with meaningless affairs and intense drinking binges. Then something totally unexpected pops up and Bruno finds himself in a position to act responsibly , to start writing again, and to get his life back on track. But like his drinking, screwing up might be a habit that's too deeply ingrained to shake.
