Book Club at the Red Table – Lorenzo Carcaterra
https://lorenzocarcaterrablog.wordpress.com/2016/08/29/book-club-at-the-red-table/comment-page-1
Book Club at the Red Table. August 29, 2016. August 21, 2016. Last month, for the first time, an author joined the group Julia Dahl who has recently published a terrific first novel, INVISIBLE CITY. I wasn’t the one who invited her; she came courtesy of another member, Jeff, who works for Julia’s husband. But I am pleased to say I was the one who chose the novel as our monthly read. And that is truly what any reader is to an author a friend. A very good friend. The Birthplace of Pizza. I’ve sent a ...

The Tuscan Life – Lorenzo Carcaterra
https://lorenzocarcaterrablog.wordpress.com/2016/06/16/101
June 16, 2016. August 21, 2016. I have shopped there many times over the years, but had never been allowed access to the basement, the large cold room, thick potted herbal plants lining the walls, where the monks had first plied their magic. Graziella, a dark-haired young woman, smartly dressed in stylish jacket and slacks, dark hair teasing the collar, is the general manager of the pharmacy and proud to share its history. Tutto aposto, cosi. No, she said with a slight shake of her head. His patron d...

How Italy Saved My Life – Lorenzo Carcaterra
https://lorenzocarcaterrablog.wordpress.com/2016/07/10/how-italy-saved-my-life
How Italy Saved My Life. July 10, 2016. August 21, 2016. In behind the scenes. Italy saved my life. I first arrived there in the summer of 1969, 14 years old and thousands of miles removed from the streets of my New York City neighborhood. I left behind parents waging a futile battle against a crumbling marriage and a jagged mountain of debt and my closest friends beginning their surrender to the allure of drugs and a life of petty crime and one-way jobs that always follow in their wake. She nodded and t...

Confessions of a Reluctant Dog Person – Lorenzo Carcaterra
https://lorenzocarcaterrablog.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/confessions-of-a-reluctant-dog-person
Confessions of a Reluctant Dog Person. April 8, 2016. August 21, 2016. I originally wrote this for Bark Magazine. Back in 2011, the year Midnight Angels came out.). Four years ago, I was in the dairy section of a supermarket when my cell phone rang. My then-23-year-old daughter was on the other end. Which would make you angrier, she asked. If I told you I was in jail or if I told you I bought a puppy? How long would you be in jail for? Dad, she’s the cutest puppy in the world, Kate said. A week later, Wi...

A True Canyon of Heros – Lorenzo Carcaterra
https://lorenzocarcaterrablog.wordpress.com/2016/07/07/a-true-canyon-of-heros
A True Canyon of Heros. July 7, 2016. August 21, 2016. It is, for me, the most peaceful place I could ever hope to find. The Church of Santa Croce in the city of Florence, Italy is the final resting place of many of the giants of the Renaissance. Among those who lie beneath a variety of ornate marble tombs are Macchiavelli, Galileo, Dante, Rossini, Vasari, Ghiberti and, the Divine One himself, Michelangelo. Michelangelo’s work improved with each new sculpture and painting. He never listened to the sh...
