A directed-teaching program at California State University, Los Angeles, is described. This supervised experience in the public schools uses a systematic approach of reassessment and reevaluation combined with a well-balanced, academically sound background of courses and clinical work. Whatever else we may be, I view us, in our professional field as basically problem solvers. There is, or should be, an orderly process about problem solving, beginning first with the ability to define what the problem is (Douglass, 1969, p. 13).

In this talk, delivered at the 2014 California State University, Long Beach, symposium celebrating the 75th anniversary of the publication of Ask the Dust, Cooper recounts the story of how he came to discover a remarkable letter, to that point unknown, written by John Fante in 1933. Addressed to fellow Italian American writer Jo Pagano, who like Fante had ventured west from Colorado to seek writing success in Los Angeles, the letter provides insight into the crippling doubts and frustrations that burdened the young Fante even as it reveals his deep-seated confidence that he would one day write a great novel. Published here for the first time, this letter prefigures another remarkable Fante letter, the one written in 1938 that is now known as the Prologue to Ask the Dust.
