Le vin de la jeunesse es una célebre colección de relatos del escritor estadounidense John Fante. Publicada originalmente en 1940 bajo el título 'Dago Red', esta obra sumerge al lector en la vida de una familia de inmigrantes italianos en Colorado, explorando temas como la infancia, la religión, la pobreza y la identidad a través de la mirada del joven Arturo Bandini. Esta edición en francés, publicada por Le Grand Livre du Mois, presenta la narrativa visceral y emocional característica de Fante, cuya escritura influyó profundamente en autores como Charles Bukowski. Es una pieza fundamental de la literatura italoamericana que captura con nostalgia y aspereza la transición a la madurez.

John Fante was an American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter. He is best known for his semi-autobiographical novel Ask the Dust (1939) about the life of Arturo Bandini, a struggling writer in Depression-era Los Angeles. It is widely considered the great Los Angeles novel, and is one in a series of four, published between 1938 and 1985, that are now collectively called "The Bandini Quartet." Ask the Dust was adapted into a 2006 film starring Colin Farrell and Salma Hayek. Fante's published works while he lived included five novels, one novella, and a short story collection. Additional works, including two novels, two novellas, and two short story collections, were published posthumously. His screenwriting credits include, most notably, Full of Life, Jeanne Eagels (1957), and the 1962 films Walk on the Wild Side and The Reluctant Saint.
