DiscussionWhat do you think of "The Search for Giovanni" and/or "A World Made New"? Click and type in a question or comment "Giovanni"--Modestina, the mother,is a very powerful woman.I like that, but why is her son so weak? He seems like a lot of Italian men I've known, fixated on his mother and looking to his father to find his way in the world.--Mary Ellen, Doylestown I think both the sample chapters of Only Sons are very moving, especially as they consider Italian-American immigrant history--its beginnings in illegal entry and its endings in successful, yet troubled assimilation. I'm anxious to see them brought together--to see how they turn out. I assume you're working on that now. And no Godfather or Sopranos stuff! --Mark, NYC My last comment was about "Giovanni." Now that I've read "A World Made New" I'm curious about the relations between the people in the two chapters. Are they related? Do the chapters occur in sequence?--Steve, Pennsylvania This is very poignant, yet puzzling at the same time. Do we learn more about Sonny and his father as the novel moves on? Do you like my web site? Click and type in a question or comment It's growing. I like to see the reactions of your readers.--Steve I like it very much! -- Susie from Idaho |
