About This Item
Ottawa: Oberon Press, 1982 Book. Very Good +. Soft cover. 1st Pbk Edition. "The story begins with the death of Babbo, whom readers will remember from "The Italians" and ends with the death of his widow, the Black Madonna,. Joey and his sister are left alone., without a past or a future, naked in a world to which neither of them quite belongs" Frank G. Paci is an Italian Canadian novelist .He was born in Pesaro, Italy, 1948, and immigrated to Canada with his parents in 1952 where they settled down in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. In the Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature, Joseph Pivato describes him as "the most important Italian-Canadian novelist writing in English, both because of the number of his publications and the consistent quality of his writing"..Frank Paci has demonstrated a sustained commitment to his art and a determination both to enunciate his own history and to provide a voice for those around him so often characterized by silence. In so doing, he has enriched the fabric of our national literature and mapped out and testified to a previously unexpressed dimension of the culture of Sault Ste. Marie.' In 1989 he became the first writer to hold the Mariano A. Elia Chair in Italian-Canadian Studies at York University.. 198p. Slight scuffing of paper wraps, ELSE FINE.
