Reviews

Belliotti's study once again underscores all the contradictions, and cautionary tales that Mario Puzo's novel and Coppola's cinematic genius brought into a world that has never stopped reading about and viewing the Corleones and their offspring. The questions he lays out about family, honor, and power are ever before us as Americans of all backgrounds. - Chris Messenger, author of The Godfather and American Culture: How the Corleones Became Our Gang This book helps to fill a gaping hole in that space at the intersection of American studies, Italian American studies, film studies, literature, and cultural studies where The Godfather (the novel and the film trilogy) resides. - John Gennari, author of Flavor and Soul: Italian America at Its African American Edge
