Hailed as "the literary poster girl for Italian-Americans" by the New York Times, Laurino sifts through the stereotypes bedeviling Italian-Americans to deliver a penetrating and hilarious examination of third-generation ethnic identity. In this "mesmerizing... witty analysis" (Booklist), she writes about guidos, bimbettes, and mammoni (mama's boys in Italy), examines the clashing aesthetics of Giorgio Armani and Gianni Versace, and unravels the etymology of southern Italian dialect words like gavone or bubidabetz. According to Frances Mayes, Laurino navigates the conflicting forces of ethnicity "with humor and wisdom." / Contents Beginnings Scents Tainted Soil Clothes Rome Words Bensonhurst Faith Work Ancestors Beginnings Acknowledgments.
