Lefty & Her Gangsters: a Novel of Power & Sex

The incomparable Lefty--married, red-hair, very sexy--has two cornerstones of the Italian culture talking between themselves: the gangster & the poet. How it all is resolved is, at once, exciting & beautiful. Here Valerio, preceding the popular TV series "The Sopranos", uses the device of the therapist--but in this case the gangster hands out advice as well as bullets.
