Abstract

In “Fante v. Bukowski,” I chose to make a descriptive parallel of Charles Bukowski and John Fante in the form of a boxing match, after rereading the entire body of work by John Fante in the summer of 2024. I point out the numerous analogies, but also differences, between the two writers, while at the same time revealing the feelings they awaken in me.
