Point Doom

Praise for Dan Fante: “This writer has the telemarketer’s skill for keeping the mooch on the line: readers who don’t hang up right away very likely won’t be able to stop listening.” - New York Times

“A powerful read from a writer who’s lived what he writes and writes what he lived, 86’d stands out as yet another example of Fante’s unique voice and bottoms-up, scraped-off-the-sidewalk prose.” - Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

“Told in a free-flowing narrative style that features a number of memorable characters, Fante’s novel is dark, bleak, gritty, and inventively vulgar. It’s also honest, painful, and occasionally tender.” - Booklist

“Fante writes like Muhammad Ali fought – there is a grace and aggression to these words that seems almost impossible at first glance. Voices like Fante’s—bleeding, screaming, hectoring voices full of soul and sadness—are so rare in fiction these days” - Tony O'Neill, New York Times Bestselling Author of Down and Out on Murder Mile

“Yet another example of Fante’s unique voice and bottoms-up, scraped-off-the-sidewalk prose.” - Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
