Spitting Off Tall Buildings: A Gritty Autobiographical Novel

Spitting Off Tall Buildings: A Gritty Autobiographical Novel of Urban American Life – Darkly Funny

Now back in print to coincide with the publication of his new novel, 86â€™d, Dan Fanteâ€™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 trackâ€”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.
