Too much work, not enough money, and little in the way of success...<br /><br />I'm off to Brooklyn for a few days to interview some friends for the next book I want to write, about how we grew up in that place together and managed to escape in our own directions.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-80869476600204497682014-06-22T22:37:53.235-07:002014-06-22T22:37:53.235-07:00Thud: Yea, that's about as much Italian as I k...Thud: Yea, that's about as much Italian as I know too, except for gelato of course.<br /><br />Tomasso: It's quite dreadful isn't it?

Don't like it when I can feel the writer manipulating me, and the references to wine jingo drives me nuts. <br /><br />Also, the plot, such as there is one, lacks credibility for a variety of reasons.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-43187801823323514832014-06-22T15:38:10.123-07:002014-06-22T15:38:10.123-07:00coolio!coolio!Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-91369799552132705752014-06-22T07:36:50.295-07:002014-06-22T07:36:50.295-07:00NHW: Yes.
