About The Book
In this novel, Santo Regina, a 32-year old activist, immigrates to America after taking part in a failed political movement incited by Vito Cascio Ferro, a prominent member of the Sicilian Mafia. Once in America, Santo becomes entangled again with Cascio Ferro and his arch rival, Detective Joseph Petrosino of New York’s famous Italian Squad.
Vincent will read from his novel and there also will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions. And while cocktails are entirely optional, we might suggest a classic Italian Negroni or perhaps an Americano to celebrate Italy.
Vincent Panella grew up in Queens, New York and graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School with the intention of becoming an engineer in the age of Sputnik. He earned a B.A. in Metallurgical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, and then served two years in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War years. After his military service, he changed his course, earning an M.A. in English from Penn State, and then going on to the Iowa Writer’s Workshop where he studied under William Price Fox. Panella worked as a news reporter for the Dubuque, Iowa Telegraph-Herald and later as the Writing Specialist at the Vermont Law School. He is the author of three previous books: a memoir, The Other Side, Growing up Italian in America, a previous novel, Cutter’s Island, which won a ForeWord fiction award, and a story collection, Lost Hearts. Vincent lives Marlboro, Vermont with his wife, Susan Sichel.
