Book Review of Some Kind of Wise Guy: Stories About Parents, Weddings, Modern Living, and Growing Up Italian

Heather-and-Raven avatar reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


Short little quips about family life and living, working, and dealing with adulthood. Very funny, esp from the Italian perspective, but his writing branches out across all nationalities. Quite the quick read (most "stories" are two pages or so). I would compare him to a lighter David Sedaris and Laurie Notaro.
