Description

Arturo Bandini is a struggling writer lodging in a seedy LA hotel. While basking in the glory of having had a single short story published in a small magazine, he meets local waitress Camilla Lopez and they embark on a strange and strained love-hate relationship. Slowly, but inexorably, it descends into the realm of madness.

Ask the Dust is one of the truly great, yet unsung, American novels of the twentieth century. A tough and unsentimental story with a soft and tender heart, it remains as fresh and affecting as the day it was written.

Item Condition: Used Acceptable. 1954 First printing. Paperback cover has some minor wear along the sides, scuffs and bending. Spine has some reading creases and wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.
