Description:
In this lively and definitive new collection, more than 60 authors explore the great themes of life itself and Italian-American life in particular: home, Morn, Pop, food, love, sex, good looks, work, God, death, fellow Italians, and more. All of the pieces -- the short stories, the poetry, the reportage -- add up to a compelling, highly readable dispatch from a culture that has played a major role in the creation of America.

Now, for the first time, they have all come together in a single volume to create a group snapshot a -- family portrait.
