Synopsis

"Like most of Valerio's narrative fiction, 'The Little Sailor' alchemically combines personal and popular cultural histories; but unlike the earlier work, this opus resolves the logic and emotion of its protagonist's episodic memory in a linear plot, transmuting the Little Sailor's childhood experience of his community (particularly its women) in the first section, 'Brooklyn, Rome,' into the action of second section, 'The Bensonhurst Pigeon,' a whimsical adaptation of Hammett's and Huston's The Maltese Falcon."--(Professor G. Guida, CUNY)

Review

"Exquisite, earthy prose. Anthony Valerio once again surprises readers at each turn and leaves you wanting more." --Judy Mandel, March 1, 1998

The private, woman-filtered experience of communal life, Valerio’s quintessential métier, the animating principal of his entire literary corpus. --George Guida, VIA Magazine, March 1, 2006
