Chump Change: A Gritty Noir Crime Thriller of Alcoholism, Survival, and Los Angeles

When he finds out his father is in a coma, aspiring writer and part-time drunk Bruno Dante, fresh from the nuthouse, must head to Los Angeles for a fraught family reunion in Dan Fanteâ€™s Chump Change. Now back in print to coincide with the publication of his new novel, 86â€™d, Chump Change follows Bruno through the tension and stress of facing his familyâ€”and the inevitable, pain-dulling drinking that lands him naked in a stolen car with an underage hooker whose pimp has stolen his wallet. Chump Change is â€œan honest misfitâ€™s view of America far too few know.â€ (John Fowles, author of The French Lieutenantâ€™s Woman).
