Dreams of an Imaginary New Yorker Named Rizzoli, Paperback

Fiction. Italian American Studies. ... Ciabattari brims with brio in this fanciful, cannily humorous look at the jungles of darkest Manhattan. Twenty-one brief 'dreams' or vignettes introduce Rizzoli, a modern Everyman who tries to do his work, retain a shred of dignity, and, maybe, find a little affection. But life is tough in the big city.--Publishers Weekly
