{"product_id":"the-complete-works-of-fante-bukowski","title":"The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski","description":"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 of 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.\u003cbr\u003e Originally published in hardcover in 2020, \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works of Fante Bukowski\u003c\/em\u003e quickly sold out and is nominated for a 2021 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album. This expanded paperback edition includes additional content, including a 2020 \u003cem\u003eSlate\u003c\/em\u003e interview with Fante himself and a cover gallery of Fante's previous books. Also: a foreword by novelist Ryan Boudinot (\u003cem\u003eBlueprints of the Afterlife\u003c\/em\u003e); a facsimile reproduction of Bukowski's literary debut, \u003cem\u003e6 Poems\u003c\/em\u003e (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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Noah Van Sciver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849620885565,"sku":"9781683965145","price":52.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781683965145_d9ea7b6d-3625-44f8-8b52-4956d276ae33.jpg?v=1767039712","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-complete-works-of-fante-bukowski","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
