Sobre este artículo
From the d.j.: "Schiavelli shares 70 recipes for the incomparable family meals prepared by his grandfather, a Sicilian monzu, or master chef. At once a revealing portrait of immigrant experience and an extraordinary cookbook, "Bruculinu, America" provides an unforgettable look at a vanished way of life."
Danny DeVito's comment on the rear of dust-jacket: "Vincent Schiavelli's new book is a "Thousand and One Nights" set in Sicilian-American Brooklyn. An intoxicating adventure savoring good life and great food."
SIGNED copies apparently uncommon.
Sinopsis
"In the early 1950s, Bruculinu, as the Sicilian immigrants called their Brooklyn neighborhood, was a remarkable place. If the weather was fair, the streets would be teeming with life. Women would be haggling with pushcart vendors in Sicilian and broken English over pieces of fruits and vegetables. Other vendors in horse-drawn wagons would be chanting their wares amid the song of the ragman's bell and the iceman's bellow. Growing up in this place was like having one foot in mid-twentieth-century United States and the other in mid-eighteenth-century Sicily." So begins Vincent Schiavelli's captivating story of coming of age in the Italian section of Brooklyn. In a series of witty vignettes, Schiavelli describes the social customs and secret recipes he learned from his grandfather, a Sicilian master chef, as well as the tenements, gangs, dances, holiday celebrations, and funerals that defined the culture of the neighborhood.

Sobre Stillman Books
After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
