Overview

PRIZZI'S HONOR is no ordinary story of boy-meets-girl. Charley Partanna is a faithful lieutenant for the Prizzis, New York's most powerful Mafia family. The object of his affections is Irene Walker, a Los Angeles-based tax consultant. But it's her freelancing that pays--she's a hit woman for the Mob. She has also cheated the Prizzis out of an unforgivably large sum of money.

This is very dangerous moonlighting indeed, and eventually it places Charley's oldest loyalties in conflict with his newest one. Which wins?

"His best book since THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE...he mixes caricature and character as easily as Charley hacks off thumbs." (Chicago Tribune Book World)

    Honor Among Thieves Opposes Family Loyalty and Survival

    This novel is one of the greatest explorations of moral relativism that I have ever run into. Although the novel looks at life, love, family, and Mafia loyalty in comparison to each other, the issues of relative duty are just as significant for each of us. The plot is wonderfully designed to create unexpected tensions that make moral issues compelling and interesting to even the most casual listener or reader. The story opens at the wedding of a Mafia don's granddaughter. One of the don's lieutenants, Charley Partanna is instantly smitten with a beautiful woman who appears unexpectedly at the wedding. She quickly disappears, and he tries to find her. His search leads him to California from New York. He finds that she is married, but separated. He falls deeply in love with her. Imagine his chagrin when he dispatches a crook who has stolen from his crime family . . . and the crook turns out to be the woman's estranged husband. What's worse, hundreds of thousands of dollars are still missing. Fortunately, it's insured. But that's not the point. You cannot let people steal from a crime family. What should Charley do now? What obligation does Charley owe to the don? What does he owe to the don's family, the Prizzis? What does he owe to someone he loves? What does he owe to his own father (who also works for the Prizzis)? What does he owe to himself and his own sense of self respect? The story is even more complicated by the overhanging debt of honor that the Prizzis owe to Charley. Earlier, another granddaughter had run off to live with another man while engaged to Charley. As a result, she is cut off from the family. She cannot be reconciled with her family until Charley finally marries. That will release that debt of honor. Charley Partanna is a Don Quixote-like figure who is very concerned with what honor requires. Although the rest of the characters of often speak as though they do too, they really focus on what's best for their wealth and survival. But Charley overlays the concept of honor on them, despite the evidence to the contrary. This makes him a very appealing character for someone who is a remorseless contract killer, enforcer, kidnapper, and general on-call criminal. Perhaps Mr. Condon's message is that we can all aspire to the Heavens, no matter how debased our lives and sins are. The realities of honor in these situations come down to sovereign power more than to any real codes of honor, in the sense that chivalry was a code of honor. The 'deal' keeps changing, and Charley finds himself one minute on the same side as another person and then opposing that person in the next minute due to a ploy by someone else or changed circumstances. The conclusion will strike you as unexpected in the extreme unless you think carefully about the title. The denouement is a neat resolution of the escalating conflicts brought on by the complication of Charley's falling in love with a woman whose interests are not the same as those of the Prizzis. After you finish enjoying the story, I suggest that you think about what you own code of ethics would tell you to do if you had these sorts of conflicts in your life. Hopefully, such conflicts in
