Title: Most essays here are a waste.
Product review: This book was a real let-down. Some of the contributors had nothing constructive to say, and a few others, like Gay Talese and Matilda Cuomo, although writing well, did not really address issues as they relate to Italian-Americans. On the positive side, some of the pieces on Italian-American litterature, and one woman's account of her struggle to learn the mandolin, were enjoyable.
