Sleeping with Fishes

Mike Fiorito’s Sleeping with Fishes is the essence of Italianità, but you don’t have to be Italian to appreciate the stories in this funny and touching collection.
Fiorito shows us how authentic cannoli are made but also how to bridge the yawning gap between the Italian he learned at school and the Sicilian dialect of his grandparents. We learn about the history of southern Italian immigration, but here through Fiorito’s comic perspective.
We encounter good fellows and godfathers who make you laugh until you cry.
Sleeping with Fishes is a unique and delightful read.
