Description
West of Rome by John Fante is a collection of two novellas that explore the lives of its characters with vivid descriptions. In "The Orgy", the author's writing style shines through in a striking opening passage, introducing Frank Gagliano, a left-handed bricklayer from Torcella Peligna, who defies conventional expectations. Fante's prose is characterised by its poetic and evocative nature, painting a picture of his protagonist with precision. The novellas that follow are equally engaging, offering a glimpse into the lives of those around Frank, and the world they inhabit. This collection of stories showcases Fante's unique writing style, which blends elements of fiction to create a compelling narrative.
