He came along, kicking the snow. Here was a disgusted man. His name was Svevo Bandini, and he lived three blocks down that street. He was cold and there were holes in his shoes. That morning he had patched the holes on the inside with pieces of cardboard from a macaroni box. The macaroni in that box was not paid for. He had thought of that as he placed the cardboard inside his shoes.

Criticism Appertaining To Books Wait Until Spring, Bandini (The Saga of Arturo Bandini #1)
So I read Ask the Dust first, and now I got a chance to see Bandini's childhood. Kinda felt like a psychologist getting some insight to why he ended up the way he did. And it was a psychologist dream - Catholic school, racism, working class struggle, broken marriage, and always- the burdening definition of masculinity. His relationship with his brothers proved to be funny but at times, heartbreaking; his relationship with his mother- an attentive mother who loses sight of herself in her failing

This was a finely written book, not pretentious or superficial (as we have seen by other american writers) but just right. I laughed, I lived with the characters. I felt the last chapter was a bit sudden, after accurate descriptions of facts and situations, boom, now I end it like this because i want to end it. Although one can make something with this sort of ending, I felt it a bit too easy and short. That is why i had 4 stars in my head, but the overall impression was so good, that I ended up

Fante's writing style is in some ways so refreshing given how so many current writers flex their vocabulary as a bodybuilder on too much steroids (kind of like this sentence). His words aren't overwrought, and there's very little that's unnecessary. When he describes something it's simple, yet still poignant. The story revolves around a young immigrant boy in Colorado in the 20s I believe, along with his unemployed father, and catholic mother. Fante's two male main characters can be truly

Wait Until Spring, Bandini is a bittersweet novel it is bitter with its lucid sadness and sweet with its poetical imagery.Family life, parents and childhood: a subject in thousands of books but every great author finds his own way to tell the story about his coming of age. At once Federico and Arturo left the table. This was old stuff to them. They knew he was going to tell them for the ten thousandth time that he made four cents a day carrying stone on his back, when he was a boy, back in the

I remember reading this one in the summer of 2005 while sitting in the hall of the old Deichmanske Library in Oslo.(I wonder if that library is still open. It's a place I like to recall).The adventures of a young Arturo Bandini and his family in cold Colorado were really entertaining and particularly easy to read for the poor written English reader I was at that time. Yet, the simplicity of style didn't affect the goodness of this novel. I confess how I fall in love too easily with books

Hats off to John Fante again.And full marks.If it were possible to give this 6 or 7 stars, I would. Absolutely amazing. The guy was a genius novelist. What can I say? This was the right book to read after 1933 Was a Bad Year because it is a much better, more refined and extensive extrapolation of that story. I believe that Wait Until Spring, Bandini was Fante's first published book and what a way to enter the literary world. The fact that he remained obscure and largely forgotten until his

First published in 1938 and set in the 1920s this is a story of a poor immigrant Italian family in the years of Depression. Its a sad and powerful piece of writing which, due to Fantes skilful use of humour, is an absolute pleasure to read. Fante must have considered writing this as a narration on part of young Arturo, but the fact that he hasnt makes the book of much idea appeal. As Christmas approaches in the bleak Colorado winter the Bandini family is threatened in terms of their Catholic
