Poetry. Mary Melfi’s work appears unclassifiable. There are surrealist fireworks, gnostic philosophizing, black and white humor, an absurdist appreciation of the process of existence. Hers is not one voice, but rather a number of voices organized in a modern fugue: a counterpoint to its own cantus firmus. "Swordfishes, swordsmen too, are equipped / to get along in life / but I’m equipped to be a dancer on the stars. / Your love is my equipment." ("Sword Dances").

An experiment in what the author terms "speculative history", this novel tracks the movements of a man haunted by the spirit of his deceased mother and dogged by the notion that Astoria - the Italian neighbourhood in Queens where his mother grew up in the 1920s - is the true capital of the world. In 1986, two years after his mother’s death, the narrator travels from Paris to New York to Rome, unable to escape the shadow of Napoleon, the historical figure he now associates with his mother.

DESCRIPTION: The pioneering American gangsters: perpetually appealing, forever misunderstood. Who were they and what were they really like? The most entertaining way to find out is to discover what these men and women actually said while they were being entertained, accused, annoyed, shot or killed. Mobsters and Thugs is an intriguing look at over 200 quotes, each with its inclusive historical and somewhat twisted humourous caption, from over sixty gangsters, their women, the lawyers, victims and the politicians they paid, manipulated and owned. From the early Black Hand, to prohibition an

This collection of essays explores the literature of Italian immigrants in Canada and their children by focusing on the central role that themes of migration hold in their work. Addressing topics such as the oral roots of Canadian immigrant writing, the changing place of women in works of the Italian diaspora, and the persistent difficulties of translation, this work provides an international perspective on some of the most pressing questions in the study of literature today. In addition to Canadian works, the work of immigrant writers from Australia and other countries is also considered, pro
