West of Rome Paperback / softback
by John Fante
Paperback / softback
Description
West of Rome's two novellas, "My Dog Stupid" and "The Orgy," fulfill the promise of their rousing titles.
The latter novella opens with virtuoso description: "His name was Frank Gagliano, and he did not believe in God.
He was that most singular and startling craftsman of the building trade-a left-handed bricklayer.
Like my father, Frank came from Torcella Peligna, a cliff-hugging town in the Abruzzi.
Lean as a spider, he wore a leather cap and puttees the year around, and he was so bowlegged a dog could lope between his knees without touching them."
