Ask the dust did get made into a movie recently and I made a thread for it in the movie section :O it wasn't half bad. John Fante wrote alot of screen plays after he got relatively famous and i think alot of his books became movies.
I really love the ending because it has a typical plot line with a not-so-typical ending. Also all of his books are actually about himself.
i don't know what honest writing is but if you get one of john fante's books within the first chapter you'll realize how somebody could call it honest writing
