At Home in the New World

Maria Terrone

4.9/5 (34202 ratings)

Description:At Home in the New World begins with two essays from the author’s childhood (Italian American, Roman Catholic) and goes on to explore the anxieties and obsessions of Terrone’s life—such as gloves, shoes, food, and her brother’s guns—as well as the personal meaning of her Southern Italian heritage. She writes about the people who strongly influenced her including her parents and, perhaps surprisingly, WWII-era men such as her father and a former British prisoner of war encountered on a long train ride. Because Terrone is a proud, native New Yorker, its locations and urban flavor figure prominently. Her city is an ethnically diverse, international hub almost unrecognizable from the mid-twentieth century when she grew up; At Home in the New World may ultimately be her way of coming to grips with this reality. Says best-selling author Maria Laurino: “As Terrone joyfully claims her name and place in the world, the reader embarks on this journey with her, fortified by her hard-earned wisdom, and subsequently feeling a little less alone.” Distinguished writer Paul Mariani describes the book as “subtly crafted, witty, honest… All of it memorably realized in a language which only really fine poets can evoke.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
