Twisted Head is the comedic story of a hardscrabble, working-class family’s life that represents the real legacy of Italian-Americans–labor, not crime. It is also the poignant memoir of the author’s struggle to become himself in a world that demanded he act like someone else. Tragic and funny in equal measure, Carl’s story is propelled by a cast of only-in-New-York characters: customers at the family pizza shop, public school teachers, nuns and priests at church, shop owners and merchants–all wildly entertaining and sometimes frightening. Somewhere in all the rage and madness that surrounded Carl in his youth, he found the bottom line: he loved his family, but he had to let them go. Twisted Head is an exorcism of sorts. With plenty of laughs.
