A Feast of Narrative 2

This anthology, second in this series of Italian American Writers, contains a very interesting amalgam of different stories and authors. What is common, other than their belonging to the same ethnic group, is the validity of their content and the message they send to the readers. Some stories are funny commentaries on social gatherings of some kind, wakes included, while others address different topics with a more somber tone, such as war events, the constant search for our roots, the changing of neighborhoods, the Covid19 crisis, and so on. Regardless of the topic, these writers prove that passion for writing is another element they have in common with each other. This is their message and it proves that having them together in this anthology is the proper decision. The authors are: Peter Alfieri, Marilyn Antenucci, Lucia Antonucci, Joseph Cacibauda, Debbie DiGiacobbe, Patricia Rispoli Edick, Fred Gardaphé, Cecilia Gigliotti, Joe Giordano, Sandra Marra Barile Jackson, Mary Lou Amato Johnston, Thomas Locicero, C.
