About the author

Author: John Fante

Born to Italian immigrant parents, John Fante was an American literary talent that carved a distinct niche in the realm of fiction.
Fante's most celebrated work, Ask the Dust, is a poignant example of his ability to capture the essence of a time and place. His prose possesses a raw, unvarnished quality that draws readers into the tumultuous world of early 20th-century Los Angeles.
Fante overcame different rejection, which would later resonate in his semi-autobiographical narratives.
Besides Ask the Dust, his other most well-known works include Wait Until Spring, Bandini, a story about family and struggle, The Road to Los Angeles, an early work about an aspiring writer, and Dreams from Bunker Hill, which follows his alter ego in Hollywood.

About this project

A Book to Wear is a collection of enamel book pins created by illustrator Judy Kaufmann for independent bookstores, concept shops, museums, and readers who enjoy connecting with books in a more personal and meaningful way. Each pin is dedicated to a specific author or literary work, from 1984 and Jane Eyre to Susan Sontag, Annie Ernaux, Mary Shelley, and The Bell Jar. Designed to sit naturally alongside books, the collection encourages impulse purchases while blending seamlessly into carefully curated literary spaces. A custom wooden display is also available, making the pins easy to present neatly at the counter.
