Details
Poignant, funny and unabashedly autobiographical, FULL OF LIFE addresses the trials of expectant fatherhood with self-deflating wit, candor and affection. Dropping the mask of Arturo Bandini, his alter-ego in previous books, the novelist here casts himself, John Fante, as the protagonist. This likeable hero is a Hollywood movie writer whose own domestic life is far less glamorous than the screen images he must create--termites are eating down his walls almost as fast as his slightly neurotic and hugely pregnant wife is driving him up them; his Italian-immigrant father, who wants him to produce a male heir and take his place as the family scion, won't give him a moment's rest; the hero finds himself perpetually problem-beset, perplexed and bemused.
