When We Were Bandini : Humor and Satire in John Fante's American Dream

Through a psychological analysis of John Fante's characters and a literary comparison with authors like Cervantes, Hamsun, Bukowski, When We Were Bandini explores the subtle use of humor and satire in Fante's depiction of the American world, and it clears him of the label of autobiographical or even confessional writer.
