Fante to me captures the lusty, violent, warmhearted, passionate spirit of his Italian-American compatriots far better than any writer. There's none of the turgidity, the sensationalism, the \"instinctual grunts\" of di Donato. Here is one family, almost certainly Fante's -- the arrogant, swaggering male father; the worn gentle mother who cries about everything concerning God and her children; and the boys, good-bad roughnecks at the parochial school, at communion, at home. And underneath it all one senses Fante's deep affection, which includes a certain humorous tolerance, for these simple, fervent, hot-tempered people.\" -Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003eThis new edition of the legendary Dago Red, first published in 1940, contains seven new stories, including \"A Nun No More\" and \"My Father’s God.\" \u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e\"Underneath it all one senses Fante's deep affection, which includes a certain humorous tolerance, for these simple, fervent, hot-tempered people.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An exceptional talent.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887583162597,"sku":"NP9780876855829","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780876855829.jpg?v=1730227011","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-wine-of-youth-isbn-9780876855829","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
