Reviews
"A wonderful reading experience. You don't have to be Italian to be moved by this powerfully touching memoir." -Mario Cuomo "Not since Mario Puzo's novelThe Fortunate Pilgrimhave readers been treated to such a sweet and sour tale of growing up Italian-American and of coming to appreciate the sturdy rock that is family." -Ken Auletta, "A wonderful reading experience. You don't have to be Italian to be moved by this powerfully touching memoir." -Mario Cuomo "Not since Mario Puzo's novelThe Fortunate Pilgrimhave readers been treated to such a sweet and sour tale of growing up Italian-American and of coming to appreciate the sturdy rock that is family." -Ken Auletta "I couldn't put it down. It's one of the most hilarious descriptions of growing up Italian I have ever read." Nick Pileggi, author ofWiseguy "Like an Italian grandmother hugging you fiercely to her bosom, Carl's memoir of his upbringing in the Bronx doesn't let go . . . until you realize the melancholy one finds in joy and the joy one finds in melancholy.  A splendid and insightful readas funny as it is sad." Lewis Black "Carl Capotorto's book feels like a Sunday dinner as a kidfamiliar and warm. It's filled with the same peculiarities, complications, and profoundly specific characters . . . all portrayed with great warmth and generosity of spirit. It made me fall in love with my own imperfect family all over again." Edie Falco "It takes considerable talent to make the telling of a more-or-less ordinary childhood and adolescence reveal its specialness. Carl Capotorto has this considerable talentby objectively relivingnot judging but observing...observing very carefully and honestly."Edward Albee "Take Russell Baker, throw in a little David Sedaris, then simmer with olive oil for Twisted Head,a memoir as poignant as it is hilarious.  Anyone who's ever had a familyItalian-American or otherwisewill love it."  Terence Winter, Executive Producer - The Sopranos  "Hilarious, insightful, moving, and honesta book that finally captures Italian-American life the way it really is. Wonderfully entertaining, it made me laugh, cry, and remember a world that is slowly disappearing." John Turturro "Carl Capotorto is unrelenting and wise in this hilarious yet poignant portrait of a young Italian-American's coming of age by the heat of his father's pizza kitchen in the Bronx. Written with honesty, verve and hope, Capotorto's story is totally original yet deeply familiaran autobiography to savor. I can't wait for the sequel!" Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author ofBig Stone Gap, Big Cherry Hollerand other novels

Synopsis
For Carl Capotorto, everything is in a name. The literal translation into English from Italian of his name is Twisted Head. He grew up in the Bronx the 60s and 70s, next door to the Mangialardis (eat fat) and Mrs Occhiogrosso (big eye). His father was a tyrant who ran a pizzeria caught in the middle of the great Bronx upheaval, his mother a long-suffering wife. In a comedic story of a hardscrabble, working-class family's life, the real legacy of Italian Americans is exposed. Tragic and funny in equal measure, this is a poignant memoir and a tale of becoming.
