A brutal racist attack drives Alfie Bagliato's family from their small town to New York City, where, at sixteen, Alfie dreams of escaping his Italian American enclave through a career in music and a romance with his distant cousin, Adeline. Soon enough, disappointment and frustration lead Alfie to join the military, to follow Adeline to San Francisco, and then to become a New York City cop, whose clash with protestors during the 1968 Columbia University student uprising nearly kills him, forcing him to confront his inherited bigotry and fear, as he wrestles with his lingering love for Adeline and need to find a new life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Guida is the author of eight books, including\u003ci\u003e The Pope Stories\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOther Tales of Troubled Times\u003c\/i\u003e, four collections of poems--the forthcoming \u003ci\u003ePugilistic and The Sleeping Gulf\u003c\/i\u003e, along with \u003ci\u003eNew York and Other Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLow Italian\u003c\/i\u003e--and the novel \u003ci\u003eLetters from Suburbia\u003c\/i\u003e.
