Synopsis
Actor and playwright Carl Capotorto (his last name translates to "twisted head") has written a marvelous memoir and ode to life growing up gay and Italian in the Bronx in the 1970s. The result is book that feels both nostalgic and old-world while embracing the changing of the times. The pages teem with pizza joints, family feuds, endless Catholic masses, and eccentric grandmothers, but also disco clubs, the Son of Sam (who murdered two of Capotorto's close friends), and the author's struggles with his sexual identity.
