È il 1880 a Parigi e Pierre-Auguste Renoir, i pennelli nella mano destra e l’astuccio ereditato da Claude Monet nella sinistra, è appena giunto sulla terrazza della Maison Fournaise, una locanda amata dagli artisti dove si può mangiare, dormire o affittare una barca. Alphonsine Fournaise, la figlia del padrone della locanda, l’ha condotto fin lì per mostrargli un tratto della Senna dove le due rive offrono un paesaggio incomparabile allo sguardo di un pittore. La blusa a righe e il costume da bagno aderente sulle sue curve procaci, Alphonsine allarga le braccia davanti alla meraviglia che si spalanca non appena scosta la tenda a righe grigie e rosso corallo. Le canoe affiancate lungo la riva spiccano sul verde scuro dell’acqua. Sulla riva orientale una locanda, con i muri bianchi e il tetto di tegole rosse, è illuminata dal sole pomeridiano. Più a valle, un cantiere si allunga sul fiume circondato di barche, e qua e là si vedono case di contadini accoccolate accanto ai loro orti. In che modo Renoir potrebbe ritrarre quel magnifico luogo in cui la città incontra la campagna? Dipingendo alla maniera degli impressionisti una scena da ballo su una delle rive? Oppure una gita in barca con poche, veloci pennellate? Non darebbe, in questo modo, ragione a Émile Zola che accusa lui, Pissarro, Sisley, Caillebotte e gli altri impressionisti, di creare «bozzetti ancora freschi di pittura», opere incomplete e strampalate? No, sulla terrazza della Maison Fournaise, Auguste cercherà di creare il suo capolavoro, la grande opera che sogna da anni: un inno alla vie moderne, un quadro che rappresenti l’ebbrezza e l’allegria che caratterizzano il nuovo stile di vita nelle grandi metropoli europee, Parigi innanzi tutto... Così Susan Vreeland immagina, nelle pagine che seguono, la nascita di una delle opere fondamentali dell’impressionismo, Il pranzo dei canottieri, un quadro in cui Renoir celebra se stesso come il pittore per eccellenza della joie de vivre, del sentimento gioioso della vita. Monsieur Fournaise e la bella Alphonsine, il barone Barbier, la seducente Angle, Lestriguez, l’ipnotizzatore affascinato dall’occultismo, Paul Lhote, l’instancabile rubacuori, Jeanne Samary, Gustave Caillebotte, il pittore che amava dipingere barche, Ellen Anurie, Maggiolo, e soprattutto Aline Charigot, la donna che avrebbe stregato Renoir, tutti i personaggi del Pranzo dei canottieri rivivono magnificamente in questo romanzo destinato a diventare un classico della narrativa dedicata all’arte.

Communications theorist Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) predicted the effects of electronic media on modern culture as early as 1964. McLuhan published several breakthrough books and coined terms like "hot" and "cool" media, "the global village," and "the medium is the message."

Why would a man tie up a cheap suitcase with grass rope, leave his family and his paesani in Italy to risk his life and meager possessions among the dock thieves of Naples and Genoa to suffer the congestion and stench of steerage accommodations aboard ship, to endure the assembly-line processing of Ellis Island, to wander almost incommunicado through a city of sneering strangers speaking an unknown tongue, to perform ten to twelve hours of heavy manual labor a day for wages of perhaps $1.65—most of which he probably owed to the "company store" before he got it? Why were there not just a few such men but droves of them coming to the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century? How did they survive and—some of them—prosper? How did they surmount the language barrier? Why did some stay, some go home, and some bounce back and forth repeatedly across the Atlantic? Michael La Sorte examines these questions and more in this lively study of Italian immigration prior to World War I. In exploring for answers, he draws upon the commentary of recent scholars, as well as the statistical documents of the day. But most importantly, he has searched out individual stories in the published and unpublished diaries, letters, and autobiographies of immigrants who lived the "greenhorn" (grignoni) experience. In their own language, the men bring to life the teeming tenements of New York's Mulberry Street, the exploitative labor-recruiting practices of Boston's North Square, and the harsh squalor of work camp life along the country's expanding railroad lines. What emerges is a powerful, moving, alternately funny and appalling picture of their everyday lives. Through detailed narration, La Sorte traces the men's lives from their native villages across the Atlantic through the ports of entry to their first immigrant jobs. He describes their views of Italy, America, and each other, the cultural and linguistic adjustments that they were compelled to make, and their motives for either Americanizing or repatriating themselves. His chapter on "Italglish" (a hybrid language developed by the greenhorns) will echo in the ears of Italian-Americans as the sound of their parents' and grandparents' voices.
