Jack Frusciante Has Left the Band (Italian: Jack Frusciante è uscito dal gruppo) is Enrico Brizzi's debut novel. Brizzi wrote it at the age of eighteen and it was first published in 1994. The name "Jack Frusciante" is a deliberate modification of John Frusciante, the guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[1]
The novel, first published by independent Ancona-based Transeuropa, went out of print 15 times before the rights to it were sold to more solid publishers.[citation needed]
As of 1999, the novel had sold over one million copies in Italy and had been published in 23 countries throughout Europe, in the US, Japan, Korea and South America.[2]
A film based on the novel was released in 1996, with Brizzi contributing to the screenplay.[3][4]
In 2024 Enrico Brizzi announced the sequel of the novel[5]
