A Wiser Guy
Author: Louis P DiVita
Publisher: Louis P Divita
ISBN: 9780997036312
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Louis P DiVita is the grandson of Paul Palmeri, the brother of Benedetto Angelo (Buffalo Bill) Palmeri who were founding members of the post Castellammarse War Mafia. A WISER GUY chronicles Louis's sixty plus years of life experiences, encounters, ups and downs. Louis details his torment of following his ancestor's gangster life style or the path to white collar success. His earliest childhood memories of the family's history began at seven years old when he was tutored initially by his grandmother, then his mother, father, uncles, and family friends. Louis outlines his development as an independent hustler constantly trying to escape his legacy and his attempts to earn a legitimate income in the automobile business, oil field equipment sales and the trash and recycling industries, but setbacks and failures continually drew him back to illicit earnings. Louis illustrates how posture, image and associates can send a more powerful message than muscle and guns. Using a series of serious and comical stories of crime and a middle class life, Louis pieces together people, places, situations and encounters spanning the golden age of the mob (1920s to 1980s) to the present.

The Guy That Does the Thing—Observations, Deliberations, and Confessions, Volume 11
Author: W. C. Andrew Groome
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491758082
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
When a person is elected to political office and wants more than what he or she currently has, the individual will probably say something like, For too long human beings have been shut out from the riches hoarded by selfish people who worship no god/government, and it is time to get them to convert, make amends, or perish. When a human asks god/government a question, the human is told by a representative of the god/government that there is a plan, but it is too complicated for a mere human to understand. There is no reason for the humans to worry, because god/government knows what is best for them. In The Guy that Does the ThingObservations, Deliberations, and Confessions, Volume 11: Divine Creases, author W. C. Andrew Groome takes readers on a journey to discover the crease in the human brain that allows us to hold information necessary to put our complete trust in Godwith a capital G. Through characters such as TGTDTT, OBandSD, FicCha Zero, FicCha Thirty, as well as the lectures of Dr. Charles, Groome shows the transition from election day to elected officials wanting more, to the time when humans fight back. You will see how an overconfident god/government can cause its own demise. Told with humor and foresight, The Guy that Does the ThingObservations, Deliberations, and Confessions, Volume 11: Divine Creases is enlightening and entertaining. And it might just make you think.

Good with Their Hands
Author: Carlo Rotella
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520938441
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
This eloquent, streetwise book is a paean to America's Rust Belt and a compelling exploration of four milieus caught up in a great transformation of city life. With loving attention to detail and a fine sense of historical context, Carlo Rotella explores women's boxing in Erie, Pennsylvania; Buddy Guy and the blues scene in Chicago; police work and crime stories in New York City, especially as they converged in the making of the movie The French Connection; and attempts at urban renewal in the classic mill city of Brockton, Massachusetts. Navigating through accrued layers of cultural, economic, and personal history, Rotella shows how stories of city life can be found in a boxing match, a guitar solo, a chase scene in a movie, or a landscape. The stories he tells dramatize the coming of the postindustrial era in places once defined by their factories, a sweeping set of changes that has remade the form and meaning of American urbanism. A native of the Rust Belt whose own life resonates with these stories, Rotella has gone to the home turfs of his characters, hanging out in boxing gyms and blues clubs, riding along with cops and moviemakers, discussing the future of Brockton with a visionary artist and a pitbull-fancying janitor who both plan to save the city's soul. These people make culture with their hands, and hands become an expressive metaphor for Rotella as he traces the links between their individual talents and the urban scenes in which they flourish. His writing elegantly connects what happens on the street to the larger story of urban transformation, especially the shift from a way of life that demanded individuals be "good with their hands" to one that depends on the intellectual and social skills fostered by formal education and service work. Strong feelings emerge in this book about what has been lost and gained in the long, slow aging-out of the industrial city. But Rotella's journey through the streets has its ultimate reward in discovering deep-rooted instances of what he calls "truth and beauty in the Rust Belt."
