Shelved Room C. NOTES John Fante was born April 8, 1909 in Denver, Colorado to parents of Italian descent. He would drop out of college in 1929 and hitchhiked to LA to focus on writing. After several unsuccessful attempts to publish stories in the literary magazine "The American Mercury", Fante found success with "The Altar Boy". This opened further avenues for Fante, who got his first novel "Wait Until Spring Bandini" published in 1938, the year before his most popular novel, the semi-autobiographical "Ask the Dust"."Dago Red" would be John Fante's first book between his "Bandini Quartet". A series of short stories, "Dago Red" was met with positive reviews upon publication. It saw a republish in 1985 under the title "The Wine of Youth".
