John Fante & Chester Himes, On Anger

Abstract: A 3 page essay that examines the theme of anger in novels by Fante and Himes. John Fante, in his novel The Road to Los Angeles, and Chester Himes in If He Hollers Let Him Go, both picture angry young men as their protagonists. While both of these characters have their anger at society in common, this is perhaps their only similarity. Yet, in both cases, the authors use their anger as a tool for expressing larger thematic messages. No additional sources cited.
