About This Item
Black Sparrow Press, Santa Rosa, First trade paperback edition. Condition: Near fine, very light edge and corner wear, price sticker on rear cover.
Wryly comic, intensely evocative, often deeply moving, most of these stories explore the growing up of young Italian Americans in the state of Colorado.
We meet larger-than-life adults and follow their actions through their children's uncomprehending eyes; we grapple with the Catholic view of sin, confession and absolution; we share the joys, the upsets, the embarrassments of childhood in a Midwestern immigrant community.
