4.0 out of 5 stars Corker, 11 Jun 2008
By Mr. John P. Oreilly "jpordude" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If your a fan of Charles Bukowski's short stories (Notes of a dirty old man is my fav) or indeed Dan's old man John Fante you will love this book. Its full of humor as you follow a cab driver around the streets of LA and into his home life. (Just a shame the book is so short!) This is a must have for my collection! Im now off to buy Chump Change which is supposed to be great too.

NEVER FORGET BUKOWSKI!

5.0 out of 5 stars His fathers son., 1 Jun 2007
By Bram (North East England) - See all my reviews
John Fante was a great writer and I was delighted to find out that his son Dan is also a master of the written word.
I've only recently discovered Dan's books (after I'd read his fathers terrific Bandini novels) but what a find and I think 'corksucker' is a great place to start reading him. A collection of excellent short stories connected by a cabbie with a drink problem this thin volume kept me reading and wanting more (I re-read it straight away).
Grotesque characters, brutal honesty and graveyard humour are the order of the day. Forget Bukowski, Fante is the man to read!
