A Street Paved of Gold: An Italian Epic By: Robert R. Dattilo About the Book At the turn of the twentieth century, Vincenzo Martinelli migrated from the Provence of Calabria with his family in pursuit of the American dream. Upon entering the country, a chance meeting changes the trajectory of his life, and that of his family’s for generations to come. Filled with back-room deals, Prohibition-era mobsters, and everyday life in the growing town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, A Street Paved of Gold is an epic tale of one family’s rise to success through hard work, perseverance, and dedication to principles, and the traps and trials many immigrant families faced on their way to find their own street paved of gold.

"Quelle image surgit au nom de Francis Scott Fitzgerald ? Le Fitzgerald de la défaite, de La Fêlure ? L'excentrique de l'âge du jazz qui éprouve toujours le besoin de se faire remarquer et de se rendre insupportable ? Le romancier respectueux de son art, mais qui gaspille son talent à écrire des nouvelles pour les magazines, parce que les besoins d'argent le prennent à la gorge ? Le compagnon de Ring Lardner, de Hemingway, de Dos Passos, toujours prêt à aider les autres de ses conseils et à faire jouer son influence en leur faveur ? Celui qui a la folie de trop demander à la vie et la sagesse de préférer l'écriture à tout le reste ? Celui qui croit que l'on peut "tenir en équilibre le sentiment de la futilité de l'effort et le sentiment de la nécessité du combat ; la conviction de l'inéluctabilité de l'échec et pourtant la résolution de réussir" ?" Roger Grenier. Prix Joseph-Delteil 1996
