Aprašymas

The Gentile brothers are at it again in this new, expanded edition of their 2017 book. In the original version, Jeffrey and Michael introduced readers to their mob adjacent world. In this updated version, the brothers still stand at the intersection of Hoodlum and Gangster, with more true mob tales and more never-before published mob photos. Mob Adjacent: A Family Memoir takes an acid trip down memory lane as the brothers discover a parallel world hidden behind a suburban façade. For them, The Wonder Years collides with The Sopranos. Mobsters come to dinner, contract hits come with warning notices, and thieves deliver merchandise and people. How does something like that happen to an ordinary family? Blame it on the company they keep. Friends and acquaintances include legendary crime boss Sam Giancana, Jackie Cerone, and an assortment of hoodlums, gangsters, bone-breakers, and second-story guys, with cameo appearances by Tony Accardo, Frank Sinatra, Leo Durocher, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Joan Collins, Liza Minelli, and Elizabeth Taylor. For the Gentile brothers, life at the intersection of Hoodlum and Gangster yields dividends and teaches lessons. This is their story.
