Synopses & Reviews
Move over Miss Lonelyhearts . . . Steven R. Schirripa, author of the runaway bestseller A Goombas Guide to Life, is back with more life lessons from the neighborhood. Recalling stories of his own colorful journey from the streets of Bensonhurst to the bright lights of Las Vegas and stardom as Bobby “Bacala” Baccalieri in the HBO hit series The Sopranos, Schirripa observes the finer points of amore in all its formslove for his mother and her Sunday sauce, his wife and kids, his friends, his goomar on the side, even for his car (and he better not catch you eating in it, if you know whats good for you). Alternately touching, telling, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Goombas Book of Love proves that no one loves as fiercely (or as frequently) as a goomba.
