Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Madalena's detailed descriptions of the food and folkways of the Sicilian community are intended to be his resistance to the overriding themes of assimilation and conformity of the 1950s. As a student of African American history and a gay Italian American, Madalena was acutely aware that social policy makers at the time refused to acknowledge the reality of Americans' diverse ethnic and sexual identity. - Kenneth Scambray

Reseña del editor:

A realistic portrayal of the Sicilian fishing community in San Diego in the 1950s, Confetti for Gino captures the mood and atmosphere of a time that now seems antiquated and hard to believe. The novel centers around the DeMarino family, in particular fishing boat captain Gino DeMarino's stubborn attempts to break away from tradition by vowing to marry a woman from outside the Italian community, and his mother's (Mamma DeMarino's) just as stubborn fight to ensure he marries someone within the community.
