{"product_id":"the-complete-works-of-fante-bukowski-9781683965145","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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683965145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.40w x 1.59d","brand":"Noah Van Sciver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574439125173,"sku":"9781683965145","price":29.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3c22cc38-1c75-44e9-b5c8-efddbeda8f9d.jpg?v=1643694182","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-complete-works-of-fante-bukowski-9781683965145","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
