Synopsis
It's a humorous memoir about growing up in an Italian-American family in mid-century Brooklyn. This nostalgic collection of short stories read like a sitcom, as Vito takes you through his experiences with catholic school, military service, childhood friendships, his career path, family traditions, and the joy of community., 'It Began in Brooklyn' started out after some of the guys that I hang out with after church service suggested I start writing down some of my stories that would come out during our weekly get-together. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was in the process of chronicling some of the more humorous episodes of my life. Turns out I've lived through a lot of funny things. And a big part of it leads back to where I was born. Brooklyn, New York, was a really special place back in the 40's, and I never realized, until much later in life, that the values and strengths that have served me so well over the years were built, not just by the dynamic present in my own family, but, by the community as a whole. At age 17, I was in such a hurry to leave it that I joined the Navy, and you know what they say about how you can leave home, but home never leaves you? Well thank goodness it's true. The recollection of my experiences with catholic school, military service, childhood friendships, my career path, family traditions, and the joy of community, are uniquely mine, but somehow there is a universality to the imprint of these moments, and like the petals of a flower, they layer together to make something that is truly interesting to look at, no matter how imperfect some of these petals really are. I hope you enjoy reading it., It Began in Brooklyn. Joey has a fork stuck in his side! I'll never use that pail and shovel ever again. I didn't know an ashtray could hold so much... What do you mean she doesn't have a penis? The great meatball Controversy of 1952, courtesy of 'Fat Mama' The path that has led Vito Altavilla to this point in his life has been anything but traditional. He became an industrial research chemist who participated in several technological breakthroughs, holds over a dozen patents, and took a very interesting path to get there. Growing up in the city, his time in the Navy, University, and his work life has made for a lot to reflect on, so here it is. Born in Broolyn, N.Y. before WW II, he's been in the middle of some unique situations, most of them very funny, and all of them true. Vito walks you through a few dozen of these wonderfully told snapshots of life in America during a time some of us remember, and most of us can relate to. Book jacket.

- o***r (15)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéAs described. Seller was very professional. There was an issue with the shipping agent that claimed the package had not been collected. The seller then initiated a refund, only for the shipping company to deliver the book, so the shipping agent was at fault. Very professional seller and has now guaranteed my future purchasing. Marked shipping as 1-star due to the issues they generated Thank youWomen of Opus Dei: In Their Own Words (#387030203958)
