IOU Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 They just dedicated some park or something in DTLA(I think) for John Fante. I wanna check his work since it was Bukowski who got some book company to publish or reprint one of his books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
