Paesani of Letters

Stephen Puleo, an Italian-American from the Boston area, has written a book called The Boston Italians, which is discussed in today's Globe.

The book is subtitled A Story of Pride, Perseverance and Paesani, from the Years of the Great Immigration to the Present Day. There are some excerpts on Puleo's web site. He's also written about the infamous North End molasses flood in a book called Dark Tide.

Puleo will be reading from The Boston Italians tonight in Wakefield (7:30 at the Wakefield-Lynnfield United Methodist Church, 273 Vernon Street) and on May 17 in East Boston (7:00 p.m., Orient Heights Branch Library).
