“Ask the Dust” and “Thank You, Richard”!
I’ve been meaning to give a special someone a huge thanks here on the blog for a while now. A couple months back I wrote a post reminiscing about my days as a Taxi Dancer. Richard, a self-described Vanessa Chase fan from way back, told me about a book called “Ask the Dust” which mentions taxi dancing and I appreciated the heads up.
Then he made me an offer in a follow up blog post comment: “If you add it to your Amazon Wishlist, I’ll make sure you get a copy.” I was flattered, did as he suggested, and less than a week later… well, see for yourself!
Richard, you’re a class act. And I’m sorry it took me so long to get around to thanking you (again) with a photo. I’ve been enjoying the book and learning more about Arturo Gabriel Bandini and John Fante’s work in general. You were right – I’m digging it.
If you see this, Richard, please drop me a line and let me know. I usually say the contact page and email is for business-related inquiries only, but for you I’ll make an exception!
