Esotouric's new John Fante and Charles Bukowski LA tours

Esotouric, the eclectic bus adventure company whose offbeat tours expose L.A.'s secret history, is thrilled to announce that this August 16-19, we'll be organizing a gala downtown celebration for what would have been Charles Bukowski's 87th birthday. Stay tuned to www.esotouric.com for much more news about Bukday.

Since June 16 sees the debut of our tour of John Fante's Bunker Hill, and Fante and Bukowski are so deeply entwined in the city's literary legacy, we're extending this special, limited time offer: Purchase one seat on the 6/16 Fante tour and one on the Saturday 8/18 debut of Haunts of a Dirty Old Man: Charles Bukowski's Los Angeles, and save $20 on the combined fare. Interested? Visit http://www.esotouric.com/fante for more info.

Our tours include Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles, The Real Black Dahlia, Weird West Adams, Blood & Dumplings, Pasadena Confidential and Hallowe'en Horrors. Coming soon: Reyner Banham Loves Los Angeles.

best regards,
Kim

Ask the Dust – Robert Towne
[ Listen ] http://www.scpr.org/programs/talkcity/index.shtml
Old Los Angeles comes to life in “Ask the Dust,” a sexy Depression-era romance written and directed by Robert Towne, the legendary screenwriter of “Chinatown.” Bringing this adaptation of the John Fante novel of the same name to the silver screen has been a long-nourished labor of love for the Academy Award-winning screenwriter and director, who was close, personal friends with the author. The story focuses on Arturo Bandini (Colin Farrell), who is an ambitious young writer looking for inspiration in the City of Angels. He finds it in the form of Camilla (Salma Hayek), a sultry Mexican waitress in a nearby dive restaurant. Towne joins Kitty in studio to discuss film, friendship, and his critically acclaimed career in Hollywood.

Has anyone read the biography he wrote called "Full of Life?" Highly recommended for anyone going in to the movie of "Ask the Dust."

written by his son Dan Fante.

It was pretty good. More Bukowski-ish in style than like his fathers style.

Reasons for...

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 20:14:52 GMT

What are your reasons for liking fante??

I think one of the biggest reasons for me is that I almost feel as if he's writing about me half the time. "I am the great writer ___________,author of ________", and Im always as broke as I look. There are many other reasons but I dont want to bore the crap out of you with my mundane details...
