A recipient of the American Academy of Arts and Letters/Katherine Anne Porter Award for fiction in 2006, Arturo Vivante has been an acclaimed and beloved storyteller for over fifty years. Seventy of his short stories have appeared in The New Yorker. In his third and newest novel, Truelove Knot, he artfully orchestrates a tale of first love during World War II. "Arturo Vivante is a present past master of the lyric line, a poet of romantic possibility. And in this gripping tale of love at first sight in wartime, he writes with force and grace. The young couple, their friends and families, the Atlantic Ocean that divides them, the war itself--all these are vividly described." --Nicholas Delbanco, author of Spring and Fall and What Remains "Arturo Vivante's gifts as a writer--his gentle insight, his deep and passionate appreciation of the human drama--are thrillingly present in Truelove KnotGlimmering Girls: A Novel of the Fifties and This is a Voice from Your Past "Admirers of Arturo Vivante's fiction have reason to rejoice in this eagerly-awaited new novel which shows Vivante at the top of his form, with his characteristic exquisite prose and masterful story telling. . . . Truelove Knot is a vivid record of a part of World War II which has rarely been documented. It's a novel of suspense and surprises, but it is also a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the enduring power of love." --Corinne Demas, author of What We Save For Last and Eleven Stories High: Growing Up In Stuyvesant Town, 1948-1968

First published in 1999. The many available scholarly works on Italian-Americans are perhaps of little practical help to the undergraduate or high school student who needs background information when reading contemporary fiction with Italian characters, watching films that require a familiarity with Italian Americans, or looking at works of art that can be fully appreciated only if one understands Italian culture. This basic reference work for non-specialists and students offers quick insights and essential, easy-to-grasp information on Italian-American contributions to American art, music, literature, motion pictures and cultural life. This rich legacy is examined in a collection of original essays that include portrayals of Italian characters in the films of Francis Coppola, Italian American poetry, the art of Frank Stella, the music of Frank Zappa, a survey of Italian folk customs and an analysis of the evolution of Italian-American biography. Comprising 22 lengthy essays written specifically for this volume, the book identifies what is uniquely Italian in American life and examines how Italian customs, traditions, social mores and cultural antecedents have wrought their influence on the American character. Filled with insights, observations and ethnic facts and fictions, this volume should prove to be a valuable source of information for scholars, researchers and students interested in pinpointing and examining the cultural, intellectual and social influence of Italian immigrants and their successors.

"The world is touched and stands forth," writes Mary Kinzie in this book of seductive poetic experiment. In lines by turns fragmented and reflective, she shatters and reassembles such curiosities as an engraving by Albrecht Durer and the portrait of a notorious suicide whose children develop a secret telepathy. In one of her many powerful longer pieces, she collects glittering shards from myriad versions of the Cinderella story: Was the young girl running out of it because --recall the blood within the shoe?-- it hurt her? Kinzie's verse moves mysteriously between folk-lore and urban devastation, between white magic and the concoction of mood drugs in the modern laboratory. In each poem, she draws our attention to the chinks of light in the dark narratives that surround us, in a language animated by her sympathy and deep moral intelligence.
