Editorial Reviews

Review

Fake Italian is an engaging and very well-written reflection on coming of age as an Italian-American male intellectual.

Michelle Tokarczyk, The Journal of Working-Class Studies


[DiPaolo's] writing voice is engaging, often witty, and always readable . . . He takes pride in his learning, in his pop culture obsessions, even in his chess playing. He out-thinks his rivals in the playground, and intellectually spars with his parents. In fact, this boy's relationship with his parents is one of the most creative and intelligent I've ever read.

Jerry Waxler, Memoir Magazine
