There’s an unfortunate tendency in some circles that feel that novels about Italian-Americans “don’t sell” unless they’re about the Mafia. I suppose this was because of the huge success of “The Godfather” in 1969 and the subsequent films based on the novel in the early 1970s. Ironically, the author of that hugely successful novel had written what I feel is one of the best Italian-American novels 4 years previously.
