Author: CAPPELLANI, OTTAVIO & FREDERIKA RANDALL
Title: Sicilian Tragedee a Novel
Description: New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008. First American Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0374531048. DJ and boards show very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; 8.90 X 5.90 X 1.30 inches; 340 pages; "Balding, forty-something Mister Alfio Turrisi, an up-and-coming mafioso in Catania, has the deep pockets that London’s financial world loves. He, in turn, loves Betty, the spoiled young daughter of Turi Pirrotta, a rival Catanian mobster. Alfio and Betty would seem to be the Romeo and Juliet of this poison-pen valentine to Ottavio Cappellani’s native Sicily. That is, until we meet another pair of star-crossed lovers: gay theater director Tino Cagnotto and his bored and sexy young amore, Bobo. Because the way Tino sees it, the real heat in Shakespeare’s tragedy is between Romeo and Mercutio, not Romeo and Juliet . Set in a twenty-first-century Sicily rife with moody aristocrats, vain politicians, inept gangsters, shabby theater actors, and high-tech killers, Cappellani’s hilarious second novel—part Tarantino-style operetta, part soap opera—is also a surprising tribute to the Bard.". Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket .
