Included is 'Gennariello', a series of letters the writer/director published in the popular newspaper, Corriere della Sera, in the months leading up to his brutal murder by a male prostitute (most likely at the behest of extortionists, the mafia, the Italian government, or some combination thereof).

'The words on the cover were the most important words in the book,' said Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who founded City Lights' Pocket Poet Series and designed most of its early covers while working out of his painting studio in San Francisco's Hunter's Point shipyard.
