Bruculinu, America: Sicilian-American Brooklyn Stories & Recipes 1998 Vincent Schiavelli Memoir & Cookbook HC VG

Houghton Mifflin, 1998. Hardcover with dust jacket of Bruculinu, America: Remembrances of Sicilian-American Brooklyn, Told in Stories and Recipes by Vincent Schiavelli.

Memoir by the instantly recognizable character actor Vincent Schiavelli who died in 2005.

"With wit and charm, Sciavelli describes the folk remedies and religious rituals, street gangs and tenements, funerals and feast days and the extended family and assorted other characters who defined life in 'da neighborhood,' a Sicilian community so tightly knit that, as he writes, 'you imagined if you could ride the subway a little longer, you'd be in Palermo.'"

Very Good. Minor spot of wear to the back of the dust jacket that does not show on the front or affect the book. Nice book with light shelf wear.
