Adriana’s Eyes and Other Stories
by Anthony Maulucci
Twelve stories of love, family, and the search for identity set in New York City, Long Island, Connecticut, Boston, Montreal, and the Canadian Rockies. Each story tells an unvarnished truth about the human condition. The memorable characters are lovers, cynics, seekers, romantics and sinners. Some poignant portrayals of the Italian American experience. Half of them have been published in literary magazines.
“Adriana’s Eyes” is a story of a strong second-generation Italian American single mother told from the point of view of her musically gifted son. It takes place in Hartford in the late fifties to early sixties, and is, in effect, a song of praise to all Italian American mothers.
