Full of Life'

Description

This is a five and a half minute clip from one of my favorite authors, John Fante. Fante was very popular around the middle of the century, and was a huge influence on many writers. The book is 'Full of Life', and its a fictionalized account of a young writer and his wife having their first baby. The conflict is provided by Fantes' loving but overbearing family. It's a wonderful, witty book and there are lots of terrific characters in the novel, and you can hear two of them on the demo-the rough and tumble family priest and the exasperating, old school father of the writer.
