Does anyone know how Vera got her scars??
I have not read the book, and I missed about the first 5 minutes of the movie - the scarring looked like scalding to me, but do tell, if anyone knows, thank you.

"It was at the loins; it was a birthmark or something, a burn, a seared place, a pitiful, dry, vacant place where the flesh was gone, where the thighs suddenly became small and shriveled and the flesh seemed dead."
Bandini finds his way out on the porch and blames it on God, which of course leads the reader to believe it's a birth defect.
her father was a drinker...and a fiend. One night he went off a little crazier than usual. WHY SO SERIOUS!
shareI never read that! Where can I find that in Fante's work? It's not in the Prologue that was printed in "The Big Hunger" and it's not in "Ask the Dust". I do remember the scene where he tells Camilla that he's writing about a Jewish woman and giving her more life than she had in real life. I will admit, I have not read the entire Bandini series. I'm very interested in where that is, Bigmac
