Product Description
Synopsis
Bruno Dante is trying to straighten out selling printer supplies for a company ruled by a straight, militaristic disciplinarian. Unfortunately for Bruno, a former gangbanger, lap-dancer and crackhead called Jimmi turns up and soon he's back in free fall.

From the Back Cover
Dan Fante's anti-hero, Bruno Dante is back. Ten months after the death of his legendary father, he has cleaned himself up, straightened out, and is back on the wagon.

Dante is also back on the mooch, selling computer supplies for an all-American straight guy in a company staffed with a motley crew of ex-addicts and alcoholics.

But when Orbit Computer Supplies hires the beautiful Jimmi Valiente, a Mexican femme fatale with a gang-banger background, Dante's world once again prepares to go into free fall.

Like the Oscar-winning movie, American Beauty, Dan Fante's Mooch is another nail hammered straight into the heart of the American Dream. And like his superb debut novel, Chump Change, Mooch provides further proof that Fante is a contemporary writer of enormous power, pathos, humanity and humour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fante still under the shadow of his father, 9 Nov 2003

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
“Mooch” is the second book in a trilogy of stories by Dan Fante, the son of the author John Fante. The main character is a thinly-disguised alter-ego called Bruno Dante.

The story of Bruno Dante revisits territory John Fante and Charles Bukowski have visited before.
