Publisher Description

Dark, comic, raw, disturbing, and often redemptive, these fifteen tales will take you from the 1950s to the present, along with a repeating cast of heroes and lunatics. The characters span the breadth and the depths of human qualities and capacities. The same person, in one story, may materialize as a hero and a god, and in another, as a lunatic and a demon. While the author roughs up the people in his stories with the hand of terror, he simultaneously views them with the eyes of love. Martignetti spares no one, and to his credit, particularly not himself. For one who confesses so much fear, he is fearlessly self-revealing. After reading this memoir collection, you will come to know these characters, and the author, intimately. Not that you'd necessarily want to, it's just the way things will turn out.

“After reading 'the art of asking' and reading about blender settings when writing, I can only assume Anthony is using the 'fuck the blender, let's give it to them raw, uncut' setting. And I loved that.”
“An excellent series of essays that describe life as an Italian American in Boston in the 50's and 60's, however despite the amount of detail in the author's early life, we only get a few stories from his teenage years and adulthood. I think that this curious chose was made because his core family unit breaks up around those years, but I imagine that they are just as interesting as his formative years.”
