Living in a beat-up motel, consorting with the downtrodden and mid-level literati, Fante Bukowski must overcome great obstacles: a love interest turned rival, ghostwriting a teen celebrity's memoirs, no actual talent ? to gain the respect and adoration from critics and, more importantly, his father. Van Sciver has created a scathing, hilarious, and empathetic character study of a self-styled author determined to prove that he's just one more poem (or drink) away from success. Originally published in hardcover in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski quickly sold out and is nominated for a 2021 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album. This expanded paperback edition includes eight new pages, including a 2020 Slate interview with Fante himself and a cover gallery of Fante's previous books. Also: a foreword by novelist Ryan Boudinot (Blueprints of the Afterlife); a facsimile reproduction of Bukowski's literary debut, 6 Poems (thought lost to time in the wake of a motel fire that destroyed the entire original print run); a "Works Cited" section; and a selection of "visual tributes" by over two dozen cartoonists -- including Nina Bunjevac, Simon Hanselmann, Jesse Jacobs, Ed Piskor, Leslie Stein, and others.… (mais)
A pretty standard satire of an author as an enfant terrible. Writer Fante Bukowski is so awful and entitled in the first book that I doubted I would have tried the second if I had read it as a stand-alone work, but since it was but the first chapter of this collection of all three books in the series, I powered on and slowly the jackass ground me down and I started to see some of the charm hidden under the cringe and stupidity. Mostly though I think I was won over by the trio of women who suffer his buffoonish presence.
