Summary

Mark with John Fante's 'Ask the dust' published in 1939. From State Library of South Australia Facebook post, 29 December 2016: "Well this is the last in our series #ourfavouritereadsin2016, books State Library staff have read in 2016. I hope you have enjoyed our selections. I'm fortunate enough to be going to Los Angeles next year so I decided to read several LA novels, including John Fante's 'Ask the dust' published in 1939. Set largely in an area of the city that exists no longer, I wonder if I'll hear any echoes of Fante's dry, desperate prose. Thanks to Library staff member Toby Woolley, who took the photos for this series of posts. On a personal note I hope you have enjoyed the Library's Facebook (and twitter) posts this year. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy 2017. Let's hope it's a more peaceful one than 2016. Mark"
