Items related to Take The Cannoli: Stories from the New World
A brilliant series of funny, mordant pieces on the American experience, mostly seen through some aspect of popular culture. Sarah Vowell writes about her obsession with THE GODFATHER that almost ruined her emotional life, about Frank Sinatra's home-town of Hoboken and his ghostly presence there, about Springsteen and the pleasures of home-taping, about her relationship with her right-wing Christian gunsmith father ... By turns caustic, sympathetic and insightful, this is a brilliant showcase for a highly talented young writer.
