Renato!

by Eugene Mirabelli

Overview

Renato! is the sweeping "autobiography" of Renato Stillamare, a talented yet struggling artist in Boston. It was written across three decades and its parts were released in three volumes before its revision and assembly into this single masterwork. Renato! is a marriage of story-telling forms, and is imbued with matters of love, sex, food, philosophy, religion, and the intricacies of family attachments. The larger canvas stretches from 1860 to the present, and from Sicily to Massachusetts. In his introduction, novelist and critic Douglas Glover remarks "Mirabelli has reinvented the peculiarly Italian, extravagantly melodramatic and often comic visionƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"ƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚€ƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"the operaƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"ƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚€ƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"in the novel form."
